Summary

Description
English: Ruins Sherriff's Pit Sherriff's Pit was quite unusual amongst the Rosedale ironstone mines in that it ore was extracted via a shaft. The pit was named after a partner in the original mining company, an Alexander Clunes Sheriff. The royalty was first leased in 1857 with drifts into the hillside just above Medd's Farm (SE703968). One of these drifts was extended to the base of the 825' vertical shaft. A tramway carried the ore to the base of the shaft where it was hauled to the top and directly emptied into railway wagons without being calcinated. The mine closed between 1879 and 1881 due to the recession. It finally closed in 1911.
