The principal aim of the Friends is to assist in restoration work at Killhope. This involves research as well as physical work, and members have free access to the site. Exploration, surveying and research are also carried on at some other sites in the Northern Pennines.

The photograph shows a working underground waterwheel. It demonstrates how mine water was pumped out of deeper workings. It has been constructed in a special chamber in a section of the mine that is visited on the Killhope underground tour.
