Dad in Swaledale - another beautiful part of the world.
Lead mine chimney
Swaledale in the 19th century was a major lead mining centre. This is the remnant of a massive chimney, which snaked up the hill for nearly a mile. Long chimneys like this one were used to create tremendous draught for the lead smelting kilns. More about lead mining and Swaledale in general can be found here.

Steve would never fit in a mine shaft.
Swaledale Barns
The stone barns dotted throughout the dale farmland are a trademark feature of Swaledale. All Creatures Great And Small was set here.
