More about this scene
When lead was discovered in Weardale, the mining rights were granted to the bishops of Durham; by the 13th century, mining, smelting and charcoal burning and so on were on a large scale for the period. Daddry Shield is just one of several hamlets that grew to support an ever-growing population within Weardale.
