Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Hunshelf Parish Council, through the East Peak Industrial Heritage Support Programme, to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment and EH Level 2 survey of the site of Wortley Tin Mill, Wortley, South Yorkshire. It is intended that the results of the project will help to guide future conservation and management plans for the site. The project included a non-intrusive Level 2 survey of the extant structures, focusing mainly on the Tin Mill complex itself. Of specific interest for this report are the buildings and structures relating to the water management and activities of the Wortley Tin Mill, which occupied the Site from at least 1743, becoming disused some time before 1870. The mill may have been built on the site of an earlier slitting mill and is thought to be the least undeveloped 18th century British tinplate site. A detailed description of the site in the 1750s survives in the travel journal of contemporary Swedish industrialist R. R. Angerstein. His account describes the making of tinned products at the site, with the tinning-process itself described in detail. The tin mill within the Site is believed to be one of the earliest such operations outside of Wales. Its subsequent reuse as a rolling mill in the 19th century appears to have not significantly altered the works, and despite its subsequent demolition it may represent the least impacted early tin plate works in Britain.
