The Blast Furnace
This is Rockley Blast Furnace, well what is left of it! What survives is the stack with an inner lining of heat resisting sandstone blocks, but the hearth itself and most of the dressed stone outer facings have gone. To the south side is the charging bank which was linked to the furnace top by a bridge. This also used to be a place as a child used to go and hide and seek!, last weekend brought back some great memories!
The Blast Furnace belongs to the following groups:
Dilapidated Buildings, Ruins, Ancient and Derelict Buildings and United Kingdom Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints
