Sloss No. 2
Posted by: Naaman
Sloss No. 2 was the site of one of the mines that supplied raw materials to Birmingham's Sloss Furnace. Today, only parts remain. The actual mine portal dates 1890, but unfortunately, the entrance has been effectively sealed and filled with stone. However, the structure of the entrance and the hoist house remain. Sloss No. 2 shut down in 1959.
