Mike, Thanks for the comments - but please look at the date. Richard [log in to unmask] on 03-04-2000 11:43:22 Please respond to [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] cc: (bcc: Richard Smith/UK-Europe/3M/US) Subject: Re: Lead Smelters in the Yorkshire Dales Dear Richard, Your fine photo of the Surrender smelt mill has just arrived. For which many thanks. The mill was obviously working - and the photo was taken before the present stack was built on the roasting furnace. The one that is smoking appears to have a chimney pot. The feature just to left of centre, in the foreground, looks like some sort of dressing operation - presumably for washing/dressing slags. It is not clear on the scan - can I see a launder going into the ore- lobby area at the left hand, rear corner of the mill? Tis a pity that more such photo's do not appear.
