The Grassington Mines

The iconic Grassington Mine Chimney, standing 18 meters high on Grassington Moor, is a prominent 1849 landmark of the Yorkshire Dales' lead mining history. Located near the Cupola Smelt Mill, it is connected to a 1.7 km long, mostly underground, horizontal flue system designed to condense and catch valuable lead particles from poisonous smelting fumes.

Thanks' Gordon,. for the photo,.and info',, .[hoping to be at Grassington shortly],. looking on G/Earth images there are huge numbers of craters - sink holes and other workings all obvious remains from the days when the industry was thriving, the amount of hard graft put in from the teams to extract those minerals was astounding,. a fascinating area to explore,./ Cheers'.. from Dj.
