Have you found the Mineral Statistics, a government publication from about
the 1850s? Before that period, the data that you want probably does not
exist.

Subject: River Wharfe mines
Hello,
I am a research assistant at the University of Hull and were working on a
project which is part of the U.K. based EPSRC funded Flood Risk Management
Research Consortium research programme. The project involves using a
numerical model (TRACER) to simulate the historic and future passage and
storage of contaminated sediment within the river Wharfe, UK.
I am searching for information related to historical lead contamination
amounts within the Wharfe catchment. I am specifically interested in
yearly amounts produced by mills or mines, along with their geographical
coordinates. Can anyone please tell me where I can find this type of data,
thank you.
Kind Regards,
Jorge Ramirez
