In this video, we explore the surface and underground remains of the Derwent lead mine smelt mills which were constructed around the early 1800s. Although little remains on the surface, there are some interesting remains including the furnace, a waterwheel pit and the surface flues. Underground, we explore the remains of the tailrace and the flues in the lower part of the valley. We also explain how children were employed at the site and how their labours caused them extreme suffering and early death.
