Higher Bal was a tin mine near Levant.

Originally part of a mine called Spearn Consols, Higher Bal became part of Levant Mine in 1877.

There are two archways in the massive retaining wall; the first gives access to Guide Shaft, now grilled to allow safe viewing; the second leads to steep steps up to the engine house.

This engine was both a pumping and a winding engine.

Take care if you’re exploring here as there are some unguarded drops.

They say it only produced a few tons of tin during its working period, from 1844.
