Remaining building of Langley & Blaghill Lead Smelt Mills

  • Description

    "The two-storey rear elevation of this building is shown here [[7284818]]. "One nearly complete building survives at the east end of the area, 60m east of Sawmill Cottages, which has been interpreted as a coal and lime house dating to before 1805. This twin celled, two storey stone building built into the rising ground, retains some flooring and more than half of its stone slab roofing. Across the trackway behind this building there is the approximately 2m high earthwork dam for the reservoir (which still holds water). This reservoir was part of a complex water management system which supplied water to both mills." https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018211?section=official-list-entry" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2022.
