This tarmacked road once served the Whiteheaps Mine which was worked for various minerals over its lifetime, not closing finally until 1987; the mine site itself has virtually been cleared. Evidence of older processing at the site is the pale bank at the left side of the image - crushed material that was discarded once the desired mineral had been extracted.
