Early history

Snailbeach Mine was the biggest lead mine in Shropshire. It is reputed to have yielded the greatest volume of lead per acre of any mine in Europe. The mine has some of the best preserved surface buildings of a lead mine left standing in Britain.

Late 20th century

Underground mining ceased in Snailbeach, Shropshire, in 1955. Barytes from the mine were sent to the Windscale nuclear reactor to smother fuel cells after an accident. Locals carried on working the tips until the 1970s.
