Duddon Ironworks

On our way back from Seascale to home we stopped to examine the impressively restored  Duddon Iron Works.  Established in 1736,  it is the most complete surviving example of an iron producing site with a charcoal-fired blast furnace in England. It ceased production in 1866 when charcoal ceased to be economic.  The buildings are extensive  and I only show one end here. Worth a visit, well I thought so. Grade II and II* listed.
