The C B Yard was associated with the C B lead smelting mills which stood behind, and opposite the Yard. The C B Yard is therefore an important survival of the most significant section of the historic lead- mining industry in the Swaledale district. It is included partly for group value with the Old Powder Magazine. The range of single-storey buildings across the yard, and the former saw-mill behind the lower range, are not of special interest.
