Talk:Derbyshire lead mining history
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The description of smelting is good as far as it goes, but nothing is said about the bolehills where lead was smelted before the introduction of the smelt mill. Furthermore, I think the date given for the introduction of the cupola is a little too late.
The word 'cuopla' appears too early in the article, at a point where the subject is actually (despite the heading) smelt mills. This section could do with revision.
Also we could do with a complete article on lead smelting generally, as the subject does not apply just to Derbyshire. Peterkingiron 22:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
