A square form, a quadrate, nestles by the side of a babbling brook in Furnace Wood.
The question is what was it for? I don't know. Perhaps it is associated with one of the old industries of the Duddon Valley, the making of bobbins, iron making, coppicing or even a hand tanning pool. It is a mystery to me. Water was used from the River Duddon and perhaps
from this stream in the 18th Century for water power to operate the box bellows below
Another question arises as I take you on the path up through the wood, of what this faded message once said.
At least there is no question of what these flowers are by the side of the path, although the various varieties of mosses might be another matter.
