EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the haunting beauty of Marrick smelt mill, a historic lead smelting site nestled in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside. Dating back to 2015, this image showcases the remnants of an industrial era long gone by. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the imposing Marrick ore hearth lead smelt mill, its crumbling walls standing as a testament to centuries of hard work and industry. Surrounding it are various elements that once played crucial roles in the lead production process. From the peat store used for fueling fires to the dam that controlled water flow, each component tells a story of innovation and resourcefulness. Nature has begun reclaiming this once bustling site, with lush greenery now covering what was once an active earthwork. The tranquil millpond reflects both past and present, offering a glimpse into how time has transformed this place. Dave MacLeod's expert photography skillfully captures not only these physical structures but also their historical significance. Through his lens, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time to when Marrick smelt mill was alive with activity. This print from Historic England serves as a poignant reminder of our industrial heritage and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those days. It stands as both a tribute to those who worked tirelessly at this site and as an invitation for future generations to appreciate and preserve our shared history.
