'Horse Track', Allenheads
The horse track or horse level provided an entrance to Allenheads Mine in the 19th century. It is a mine entrance of very unusual type, by which ponies could descend a spiral incline at a gradient of 1 in 4 into the lead mine workings nearly 100m below the surface. The ponies hauled tubs of bouse (lead-ore) and deads (waste rock) to be winched up the Gin Hill mine shaft Image to the surface.
The horse track is Grade II Listed (List Entry Number: 1154297): https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1154297
Behind on the right is the lodge house at the entrance drive of Allenheads Hall.
