Mr Mulcaster.                        			Farnacres 14th June 1774



       I understand the Lead Carriers West of Hexham have considerable Stocks of Lead in Hand & that they require the Hexham Carriers to come and fetch it from them without allowing any thing to the Hexham Carriers to Hexham.   Let that matter be as it may among them it certainly is not proper that the Lead should lie and therefore I desire you will it deliver Lead to any except the Hexham Carriers including Mr Bell of the Highshield and such Carriers as are to the East of Hexham til every Pig now in the Hands of the Carriers West of Hexham shall be carried as far as Hexham at least and then take further directions from Mr Smeaton & myself.

        I am Yr hble Servt

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
