Further down the slopes of the hill, many other former buildings and structures from the leadworks can also be found.

You couldn't eat what they grew: the soil was polluted, because at the bottom of this road there had been a leadworks.

The most prominent surviving remnant of the leadworks is that of the flue chimney.

The leadworks closed in 2001, with Calder relocating to West Chester.

The ruins of St Cuthbert's Leadworks which closed in 1908 can still be seen.

Lead - Scotland's largest leadworks stood on the corner of Mitchell Street and Constitution Street.

The tower stands beside the Shropshire Union Canal and forms part of the disused Chester Leadworks.

Finished lead (for roofing, water pipes/ and sewerage) produced in the huge Leadworks factory in Edgerton Street Newtown was exported all over the country.

This was the offices to Leith Leadworks, which lay behind, and up until 1920 provided 90% of all Scotland's lead (including sheet, pipe, and pellet shot).

Most of the remaining buildings of the leadworks, with the exception of the shot tower, were demolished around 2004 to make way for urban regeneration of the canal-side area.

The Pervasive Media Studio was previously located in the Leadworks building in Anchor Square Bristol until 2011 when it moved to the Watershed building.

In April 2012 Broadway Malyan submitted plans for a £6.4 million redevelopment of the Shot Tower and associated leadworks to create 53 residential units as well as leisure and retail facilities.

A leadworks was established by the canal in 1799; its shot tower, which was used for making lead shot for the Napoleonic Wars, is the oldest remaining shot tower in the UK.

The construction of the Chester Canal in the 1770s led to industrial development to the east of Chester, with the Walkers, Parker & Co. leadworks being established there in the late 18th century.

An archeological investigation carried out in 2001 found evidence of numerous demolished buildings contemporary with the shot tower of 1799; by 1812, the leadworks is known to have also included pipe-drawing machines and a rolling mill for producing lead sheet.

From about 1794 to the late 1950s, when the canal-side flour mills were closed, narrowboats carried cargo such as coal, slate, gypsum or lead ore as well as finished lead (for roofing, water pipes and sewerage) from the leadworks in Egerton Street (Newtown).
