Drove through earlier this week and a compound has been set up in the car park below the (closed) Star Inn, and various drilling/corring equipment can be seen in and around the area. Local rumour is that they are coring the waste tips for possible reclamation of any lead ore remaining.

I was doing a patient transport job this week in the Tregynon area and had my OS map open and noted a disused mine shaft mentioned at (roughly) SO104 996. Can't seem to find anything about this, and I would have thought it is well out of the area for lead mines. Anyone know anything about it...
