Jenny Brown's Point

[2] A nearby chimney, sometimes described as a tower, is grade II listed[3] and has been the subject of archaeological and archival investigations.

[4][5] It is now believed that the chimney is most likely to be the remains of a short-lived copper mining and smelting project set up by Robert Gibson in the 1780s.

He was Lord of the Manor of Yealand and incorrectly assumed he had the right to mine for copper at Cragfoot, inland from the point, on land owned by the Townleys of Leighton Hall.

The copper was processed in a reverberatory furnace at Jenny Brown's Point of which the remaining chimney was part.

[6][7] Near the point there exists what is left of Walduck's Wall, an attempt to reclaim an area of land between the point and Carnforth: work began on the project in 1877 and ceased in 1879, and the stones were hidden under the bay's shifting sands for many years before re-emerging in 1975.
