IOM Cronk Vane Mine Ruins

The Owlvark is helpfully providing scale while reading the map.

The two buildings left at the Cronk Vane (also known as Cross Vein or Snuff The Wind) mine near Foxdale. We didn't do a lot of poking around here either; the two major shafts have been capped, by the Manx Mines Group, but as most of these mines were shut down in the early part of the 20th century, they don't have anyone living to talk to about where the connecting shafts and/or exploratory shafts are, etc, none of which would be very stable after 90+ years.
