Accessed via a siding off the West Somerset Mineral Railway (WSMR), ceased operations around 1868. Interestingly, the shell of its engine house, which was transported in its entirety from Langham Hill mine, still stands today. Remarkably, it is the sole surviving engine house in the ore field to retain its original structure.
