The original mill was built under licence from the bishop of Durham in 1667. By the 1740s it had a reported annual output of around 40 tons of lead, much of the ore coming from Lunedale until a closer mill was built in 1756. It was advertised for sale in 1831 when it had a roasting furnace, a smelting furnace, two smelting hearths, a slag hearth, a refining furnace and a reducing furnace. Three Pattinson pots, for de-silvering the lead, had been added by 1842.
