Sir

	I am sorry your Ore Carriers from Coalcleugh & Allanheads are so difficult to deal with this Year - It will be wrong to lose much time in treating with them as there is so much Ore lying at the several Mines I see no other Way but for you to make as good a Bargain as you can with them either by promising them a Pay in October, or if no better can be, to give them some little Advance in the Price; but in doing this you will be attentive to what the Quakers Company & other Proprietors do & regulate yourself by their Conduct    

                                            I am etc                     HR

The Dukesfield Smelters and Carriers Project aimed to celebrate and discover the heritage of the Dukesfield Arches & lead carriers' routes between Blaydon and the lead mines of Allendale and Weardale. A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
