  nsp_dressingmill.jpg - The old Nenthead Dressing Mill. Erected in 1908 by the Vielle Montagne Zinc Company, it housed the main gravity dressing plant. Prior to 1908 the site was part of the London Lead Companies Rampgill dressing floor. In the late 1920's the mill was linked by an aerial ropeway to Wellhope Shaft. During the Second World War the gavity plant was removed and a floatation plant installed to retreat the waste dumps for ore.
