I have duly received your letter of the 1st Inst. Our  present price of WB Litharge is Fourteen Pounds ten shillings per Ton delivered at our works at Blaydon. We never undertake to deliver it on Board. The expense of delivery on Board would be <31s/..d> for the 70 Casks and the same charge would be made any less quantity. I shall be in town on Tuesday next and will do myself the pleasure to call at your works.

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
