Allen Smelt Mill Chimneys and Flue System, Northumberland   (Industrial Heritage)

The Allen Smelt Mill Chimneys and Flue System are the remains of a smelting complex in Northumberland. It includes part of the smelting mill as well as the extensive system of flues, which includes two chimneys. The chimneys were part of the flue system which was operating as early as 1692. Long horizontal flues were added in 1808 and between 1845 and 1850. The flue system is extensive and was built to condense the noxious fumes produced from the furnaces. Although much of the smelt mill has been demolished, remains of several stone structures survive, including a series of bouse teams, condensing chamber, flue opening and a silver smelter. The flues survive as long mounds up to 26 feet wide and standing up to 6-7 feet high, but where they have collapsed they appear as ditches 6-7 feet wide. Three of the flues can be followed for two to three miles onto open moorland at Flow Moss where they end at two chimneys. The smelt mill finally ended production in 1896 but the flue system is one of the best preserved in England. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
