    Tips

    October 5, 2023

    Groverake (or Grove Rake) mine is an area of abandoned headframes from what was once the largest mining operation in the region.

    The mine originally produced ironstone between 1819 and 1875, then later for lead, until the mine closed around 1919. In the 1930s it was reopened to mine fluorspar.

    These remnants are now an iconic landmark in the North Pennines and were saved from demolition in 2017.
