From the Wikipedia article
Huglith Mine is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Shropshire, England. It is located 4km west of Dorrington or 3km southeast of Minsterley. It is protected because of the geology exposed in this disused mine (the mine opened in the 19th century and closed in 1945). When the mine was active, it was a major producer of barium and this protected area still has an exceptional deposit of barite.
