Allendale (East Allen) - June 1981

A view of the ‘old’ flue chimney on the fell above Allendale, giving a good sense of its state prior to a lightning strike that occurred in the summer of 1990.

Built to carry fumes from lead smelting operations at Allen Mill up onto the fell-top, it is older than the second chimney that was built further up the fell. It is also of a single flue/narrower design.
