Car Plantation

Old Lead Smelting Mill By Smelt Mill Beck. Lead has been quarried and smelted in these parts since the Roman times although this lead mill is probably medieval. Once smelted ore would have been used locally and excess carried by pannier on the sides of horses or jaggers to ports on the Tees at Yarm and Worsall for transport to London.

Home Farm A new build architecturally designed to blend in with the adjacent listed Georgian farm buildings, apparently. The architects were Francis Johnson and Partners and the design won a prestigious architectural award in 2009. Local opinion is somewhat divided. In the foreground a JCB is working on Hartforth Beck and producing much exhaust fumes.
