Brewery Shaft
The North Pennines Heritage Trust acquired a parcel of land in July
2001, which contained the Brewery shaft and a small stone building.
The site is a scheduled ancient monument (SM no 28906) and formed
an important part of the Nenthead mining complex. The site contained
the final shaft on the famous Nentforce Level and was the location of a
complex water powered compressed air system.
Over the last few years, the Trust has conserved the remains of the site and allowed public access to the Brewery shaft building and shaft head itself which is now enclosed in a timber extension.
