Brunna mines
The fences surrounding the mine openings in this iron-ore field consist of pieces of rail from the mine railway. Both the upright posts and the corner supports, some complete with fishplates, are recycled from materials left at the end of mining in the 1920s. This field is an extension of the Dannemora orefield (known as Öregrund iron) which supplied Scottish iron works, notably Cramond, in the early industrial period before the native Blackband and Clayband ironstones began to be extracted along with adjacent coal seams.
