Old Gang Peat Store

The remains of the peat store, Old Gang Smelt Mill, Reeth, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
Peat, cut from the moors and dried in this open-sided storehouse, was used to fuel the furnaces of the smelt mill. This open-sided building was 119m long and originally had a thatched roof. It could hold enough locally-dug peat for a year's smelting.
NY 973 006.
