The Hen
The Hen and Chicks are a line of shafts that run WNW of the main open cut that is Gill Heads Vein. They date from the mid 18thC and were dug in the search for lead ore. They are large shafts, and this one is still open despite being covered with an assortment of rusty metal and tatty wire fencing.
