Taylor's Shaft, Minera is a lead mine shaft located in Denbighshire, Wales, dating from the post-medieval and modern industrial period. The shaft represents part of the extensive lead mining operations that characterised the Minera area, which was a significant centre of lead extraction in North Wales during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a scheduled monument, the shaft survives as physical evidence of the industrial heritage and mining technology of this period, contributing to the archaeological record of Wales's extractive industries.
