Old Gang Smelt Mill
Old Gang Smelt Mill near Reeth, Swaledale, Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
In the smelt mill, the ore pellets of limestone, often calcite and galena (lead) were heated in a furnace. The lead, with its low melting point could fairly quickly be separated, drained away and poured into moulds to make ingots of pure metal.
