Abstract:
The New Smeltmill served the Snailbeach lead mine from 1862 until about 1895. Its buildings and other infrastructure have suffered partial demolition, decay and neglect and are heavily overgrown but it is considered one of the best preserved examples of its type in Shropshire, and possibly in the country. It is a Scheduled Monument and has been placed on the Heritage at Risk Register. Some emergency conservation work has been undertaken but further research is needed to understand and properly manage the site. The analytical earthwork survey reported here is a first step in that process and has elucidated some of the site's complexity despite the difficult ground conditions.
