Cobscar Mill ore hearth lead smeltmill, flue and chimney is a lead smelting installation located in Yorkshire, England, dating to the post-medieval period when lead extraction and processing formed a significant part of the region's industrial economy. The monument comprises the physical remains of a smelting hearth, associated flue system, and chimney structure typical of small-scale lead smelting operations conducted during this era. Such facilities were essential to the processing of lead ore extracted from local mines, representing an important phase in the development of metalworking industries in the Pennine region. The surviving structures provide archaeological evidence of the technological and organisational practices employed in lead smelting before the transition to larger, more centralised industrial operations in later periods.
