Cobscar Lead Smelt Mill

Cobscar Mill and Chimney on Redmire Moor, Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire.
This early 18th century smelt mill was closed in the 1830s due to a depression in the lead markets. It was reopened by Lord Bolton in the 1840s, but ceased work around 1890. It remained largely intact until the 1940s when it was used as target practise by the army.
