Smitham Chimney at East Harptree Wood
Smitham Chimney at East Harptree Wood

‘In the 1850s, fires blazed to incredible temperatures and poisonous fumes rose in huge clouds out of the 70ft high brick and stone chimney. Huge piles of slag (from earlier lead-smelting) were re-smelted to release liquid lead and the smoke, still heavy with lead, was cooled in flues to be scraped off later. Most of the lead was used for shot in guns. This Cornish-style chimney is the last of its kind in the south-west. The site finally closed in 1875. The chimney survived the destruction of the buildings and was saved by The Mendip Society and Somerset County Council in 1973
