[a further undated sheet of working calculations on the same subject. Mention of 1762 fine indicates a later date than this, and included for convenience with the 24th April 1763 calculations:]

If 1/10 be worth only £360. <the whole is worth> £3,000.

If 1/9 be worth only £350. the whole is worth £3150.

If the whole be worth but £3150. the 8/9 are worth but £2800.

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
