Description

The chimney to the engine house at Cononley Lead Mine was built around 1842, likely by Stephen Eddy for the Duke of Devonshire. It is constructed from coursed squared stone and has a circular plan. The chimney tapers and stands approximately 50 feet high. There are ovolo moulded bands located near the top and another band 12 feet lower. The base shows some later patching of stone. This chimney is part of a group of lead mine buildings at Cononley that were erected by the Duke of Devonshire's agents between 1842 and 1847.
