River Stour off Shelah Road
Here the Stour runs in a short but deep ravine which is a haven for wildlife. It is difficult to get down to the river. Evidence of the industrial past is clear. The slope is strewn with old junk and must have been used as an informal rubbish tip. Moreover, the 'soil', which is visible in places, seems to be almost pure coal waste, unsurprising given the hamlet placename (The Furnace) and the proximity of several collieries.

Footpath formerly Shelah Road and Tramway
This lane was formerly part of Shelah Road but this eastern section was bypassed in the latter half of the twentieth century and now serves merely as cul-de-sac access to a few houses and as a public footpath. It crosses the River Stour on a tall narrow arch bridge. I think that before it was Shelah Road, it was originally built as a tramway to link Old Hawn (later Hawne) Colliery with the canal. The colliery operated from about 1834 to 1902.
