The red sandstone walls in front of the petrol station are a reconstruction of the pinfold which once stood there - a pinfold was an enclosure to hold stray sheep. Completed in 2009, it is the final work in the Sheepfolds arts project launched in 1996 http://www.sheepfoldscumbria.co.uk/ . Commissioned by Cumbria County Council, the sculptor Andy Goldsworthy has creatively reconstructed nearly 50 disused or ruined sheepfolds in Cumbria. This view is from South End across the junction with Lowmoor Road.
