Duddon furnace

[8] William Latham's sons Richard and Joseph renewed the lease in 1790.

[9] The furnace stack, of local stone, is intact to its full height of 29 feet, but the hearth has been removed.

It was powered from a leat from the River Duddon and was blown (at least latterly) by blowing cylinders, described by Morton.

[10] The bridge, leading to the charging platform, has rooms under it used for workers' housing.

The charcoal barn is 100 feet long,[11] and the iron ore store also survives.
