Come in and see our exhibition and an update on all the research that’s been going on into the people and places connected with the early lead industry. Drop in any time between 10am and 5pm, refreshments available. There’s also an illustrated talk by Greg Finch 4-5pm, so you’ll be home in time for the football.

 

The Dukesfield Smelters and Carriers Project aimed to celebrate and discover the heritage of the Dukesfield Arches & lead carriers' routes between Blaydon and the lead mines of Allendale and Weardale. A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
