Meadow Shaft, Minera is a post-medieval and modern industrial lead mine located in Denbighshire, Wales. The shaft represents part of the extensive lead mining operations that exploited the Minera deposit from the eighteenth century onwards, when increased demand for lead drove significant expansion of extraction activity in the region. The site's physical remains comprise the shaft structure itself, which served as a principal access point and working feature of the underground mining system. Minera's lead mines were among the most productive in Wales during the nineteenth century, making Meadow Shaft a material record of an important phase in Welsh industrial heritage and the broader history of non-ferrous metal extraction in Britain.
