Moss Mine
Grassington Moor, Grassington, Craven, North Yorkshire, England, UK
Moss Mine is an abandoned lead mine worked between 1764 to 1880.
One of the many workings on Grassington Moor, Moss Mine was also known by a few other names – Moss Shaft, Old Moss Shaft, Pit Moss Mine, or Pit Moss Vein.
It shouldn’t be confused with New Moss Shaft, a short distance away.
I couldn’t find too much information on this site, and actually added it to Mindat myself..
There does seem to be some information on the site in British Mining No 46 – the Grassington Mines – but I don’t currently have a copy.
