The engineer who designed the main shafts was John Smeaton, better known for constructing the lighthouse now on Plymouth Ho. Smyth held various offices during his life being, MP for Pontefract, a Privy Councillor, a Lord of the Admiralty and the principal proprietor of the Aire and Calder Navigation Company which owned the mine.

Lot 323
1 bottle Hennessy Fine Champagne Cognac Vintage 1830 "This unique bottle has been bottled in the early 1940's probably under the direction of The German Third Reich as a part of its need to raise capital. The 1830 Vintage at Hennessy has been only used generally as part of blends and very rarely indeed as a single vintage. It is likely that Hennessy, against their own wish, has been directed by the Third Reich to bottle old Vintage Reserve cognacs as single Vintage. We include some of the detail of provenance provided by the Vendor" “This is the oldest Hennessy vintage cognac known - there is no second bottle and no older vintage. Of course, Hennessy has also older vintages still on stock bottled in glass "dame-jeannes", but these will only be used for "assemblages". This bottle of 1830 Fine Champagne can also be classified historically in a very accurate way. It came from a collector who bought it about the year 1998 from a descendant of a Swiss pharmacist and wine & spirit merchant along with several other old vintage cognacs. Hennessy Cognac have been asked concerning this bottle and answered that, although the bottle itself could not be evaluated, a time frame for the production of this type of bottle could be set The bottle is the Traditional Cognac bottle that all Brands were using until 1947. From the middle of the 19th century, Cognac was mainly shipped in bottles rather that barrels (exception being UK). The bottles were shipped in wooden crates of 12 bottles. The shape of the bottle was the same for all brands, only the labels were different. The time range "second world war" makes perfect sense for our bottle: This time fits, and the "Third Reich" needed foreign currency, which for example was procured by the trade in wine, champagne and cognac from France. Cognac production and trade in this time was under control of Germany (by Gustav Klaebisch - see "Cognac" by Paczensky). So it is understandable that Hennessy - actually specialized in "assemblages" and bottled a quite valuable pure vintage cognac for export to Switzerland. Hennessy would not have done this on its own responsibility, and economically this would have made no sense using old stock in this way. Since from 1945 to 1947 export was very small, the bottle is highly likely to be dated between 1940 and 1944, which fits well to the almost perfect filling level and the state of the cork as well as to the oxidized metal foil. After about 70 years of perfect storage, a loss of about two to three centimetres is reasonable. There are new photos of Hennessys "Paradis"(Vintage Reserve stock) Cognacs (thanks to E. Thielisch / Moet Hennessy Germany) clearly showing the year of distillation of the “dame-jeannes” and even the name of the domain that provided the cognac: both, 1830 Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne 1830 are still stored today in Hennessys stock. There is a very high probability that exactly these stocks were used.”
