Whiteheaps Mine road
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.

The road is heading towards open moorland so its tarmacked surface might seem unusual but once this road 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.
