Upleatham Ironstone Mine, Main Winning Hauling Engine

Situated at the top of Pontac Road, these brickwork Hauling Engine bases in the undergrowth are part of the scant remains of the second highest output mine in the area. The Drift itself was just a short distance to the south although no trace remains other than a depression in the ground.

 A new gate has been erected in late 2008 which give some clue to the ironstone mining past.
