The monograph contains mine plans and histories of the major mines at Cross Fell, Silverband, Dun Fell, Knock, Dufton, Netherhearth, Hardshins, Birkdale, Murton, Hilton, Long Fell, Stainmore, Brough, Hartley, Ravenstonedale and Mallerstang together with information on smaller mines and trials.

A separate section deals with the smelting mills.
