Conservation of the Remains of the Lead Industry in the Yorkshire Dales

Abstract

The remains of the lead industry are now recognised as an integral part of the 'natural beauty' of the Yorkshire Dales which the Yorkshire Dales National Park Committee has a statutory duty to preserve and enhance. The landscape impact of the industry, on woodland, settlement and communications as well as at mining and processing sites themselves, is briefly described, together with threats to the remains and protective measures taken. The latter include the National Park's management agreements and consolidation programmes at Grinton, Old Gang and Surrender Lead Smelting Mills in Swaledale.
