Scope and content
The Duddon Iron Furnace is a well-preserved 18th century charcoal-fired iron furnace in a wooded setting at Duddon Bridge, in the south-west corner of the Lake District National Park. Locally mined iron ore was mixed with small amounts of limestone and smelted with charcoal to produce pig iron for transport and further processing elsewhere. Opened in 1736 it shipped pig iron to Chepstow and Bristol until 1867.
