Heathfield New Smelt Mill
Built by John Yorke in 1855 to replace an earlier mill. Ore smelted here came from the Appletreewick Mining Company, Craven Moor, Burhill and Merryfield Mines.
The building that we see, constructed of well dressed masonry with sunk joints, contained two roasting hearths and four smelting hearths. By 1907 the mill had a slag hearth, two ore hearths and two reverbertory roasting furnaces. It may be that one of the roasting furnaces was used for improving or softening the lead before it was sent to the local rolling mill.
The smelters house was incorporated on the eastern end, and it is still occupied. The mill closed in 1909, making it the last of the Yorkshire Dales' smelt mills.
The building is now in use as the head office of Heathfield Caravan Park.

Weir on Foster Beck
One would guess that the weir was constructed in the 19th century to provide a head of water for the mill race leading to Foster Beck Mill [see photos this square]. More water came along another channel from Brandstone Beck just above its confluence with Foster Beck.

Heathfield Flue
The flue, although mostly hidden underground, is one of the longest in the Dales, winding up across pastures for over a mile and a quarter and terminating in a chimney on Heathfield Rigg. (Sadly the chimney was demolished in the late 1940's)
It was built in 1855 as part of the New Heathfield Lead Smelt Mill complex by John Yorke of Bewerley Hall.
