Description
The ore processing facility of the Temple Lead Mine (NPRN 33901) was connected by a tramway to the deep adit-winding house about 80m to the north-west (NPRN 33903), and was powered by a leat leading in from the same direction.
There are remains of two ore-bins, various retaining walls, a wheelpit and crusher house, with a cleft in the rock above the river marking the site of a second wheelpit, the outline of a rock-cut 'buddle' and fragments of other buildings.
