The earliest known reference to the ancient mines in Silver Gill, Caldbeck, may be the order of Edward III in 1331 concerning Robert de Barton, "whom the King has appointed...keeper of a mine of silver and lead in the parts of Minerdale and Silverbeck Co. Cumb." (quoted by Raistrick and Jennings, 1965).

The Silver Gill vein is a Pb-Zn-Cu-bearing quartz vein. The mineralisation is thought to be early Carboniferous in age.
