Allendale, Tynedale and Derwent Lead Mines

This book presents the history of lead mining in the northern tip of the Alston Block. For convenience, the area has been divided into three units: Allendale, including all of East and West Allendale; Tynedale, covering the South Tyne and Tyne valleys and also including one or two mines north of the river; and Derwent, including the rich mining area around Blanchland, as well as the south side of the Devil’s Water valley.
