Snailbeach Lead Mine Snailbeach Lead Mine lies in South West Shropshire and was once the largest metalliferous mine in the county. Described as having more lead ore per acre than any other mine in Europe, this mine once provided 10% of the UK’s lead and 25% of its barite. A new book has been published by Shropshire Mines Trust that is aimed at the general reader. Various contributors tell you about the geology, history, working and living conditions of the miners, the shaft accident, the Snailbeach District Railway and current wildlife in and around the mine. There is a descriptive tour of the surface and underground. It is the sort of book you can flick through and start reading at any point.
