leadworks
Metal processing plant
A leadworks is a factory or industrial facility where lead is smelted, refined, or processed into usable forms.
The term follows the pattern of other industrial compounds—ironworks, steelworks, glassworks—denoting a place of manufacture: The old leadworks closed in the 1970s when environmental regulations tightened.
Usually treated as singular despite the plural form.
