Cross Vein Mine

Archaeology

The oldest mine in the Foxdale group, dating from prior to 1810, was the Cross Vein mine, known as Cronk Vane (White Cross) in Manx. The Engine house, with its square chimney, survives behind the square-sectioned Engine Shaft. It is usually known as 'Snuff the Wind' because of its prominent siting. The structures have been consolidated. The older, circular-sectioned East Shaft is still visible.
