Fawside Level, Allenheads
The Fawside Level is an adit portal to the Beaumont Lead Mine dating to the mid-C19. Narrow horseshoe-arched portal with dressed stone surround in wall of squared rubble. Later concrete infill in head of arch protected with an iron gate. Above portal sunk rectangular panel with hollow-chamfered surround, plain. Work on this level commenced in 1776 but the similarity of the portal form to that of Blackett Level (1855) suggests the entrance was reconstructed in mid-C19.
The Fawside Level portal is Grade II Listed (1370612): https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1370612
