Duddon Iron Furnace
This is one of the best places in the UK to see a pre mass industrialisation country iron furnace. Local iron ore (in this case hematite from West Cumbria) was smelted with charcoal and a little limestone (deposits nearby) to produce pig iron (ingots of rough iron).
This product was then shipped for further processing.

Duddon iron furnace (disused)
A charcoal burning blast furnace dating from 1736. Isaac Wilkinson's cylinder bellows powered by water were first applied here. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument but is temporarily closed to the public while structural issues are considered. There is a good view from the bridleway that goes past the site.

Duddon Furnace - associated buildings
The view is from the accessible, upper part of the furnace to other buildings on the site. The facing building with two doorways was the iron ore store: it's roofed. Beyond it, roofless, is the large, main charcoal store; its far wall is well-buttressed internally against collapse. To the right of both of those buildings and partly hidden by a tree is the early charcoal store.
