We are delighted to announce that the first lecture in our 2025-26 programme will be Richard Lamb – “Surviving remnants of a long-lost industry: the Lead Smelting Mills of the Yorkshire Dales”.
A visitor to Yorkshire Dales today may not realise that far from being a rural idyll, the landscape was once full of industry, particularly the smelting of lead. As a regular with ERAS, Richard Lamb has undertaken much fieldwork and research on the lead smelting mills, now ruined relics of Yorkshire’s industrial past.
The lecture will take place in LT1, Wilberforce Building, The University of Hull on 17 September at 7.30 pm. For those unable to attend we hope to livestream - details will be sent to members with a digital link to join on the night.
Free to ERAS members. £3 for guests.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
