No way over the Leven?
Unless anyone fancies their chances with the spikes and walking the pipe then it looks as if the footpath over the Leven to Backbarrow will be closed for some time.

New housing on the site of Backbarrow Ironworks
There had been an ironworks on this site on the banks of the River Leven from 1685, the first in the north of England, and it flourished from 1869 when the railway reached the area. It ceased operations in the 1960s, but the ironworks site (including the first few houses to the left of the photo, but not the ones to the right) is a scheduled ancient monument (SAM 1007084). The houses were still in construction in 2018 Image

Backbarrow Ironworks - steam blowing engine
This is the horizontal single cylinder steam blowing engine that provided the blast for the adjoining blast furnace. This is by Tangyes Ltd, Birmingham and was installed secondhand c1924 and is believed to have stopped in the late 1950s. The cylinder is c18" x 36" and fitted with an expansion slide valve. The flywheel is 12' 6" diameter. The blowing cylinder is on the piston tail rod and the edge of it is seen extreme bottom left. This building was derelict and dangerous in 1986 and I'm sure it is even worse now. I last saw this in 2002 - Image
