NX9721 : Former Slag Tip

taken 17 years ago, near to Lowca, Cumbria, England

Former Slag Tip
Former Slag Tip
This pleasant hill at the entrance to the Solway Firth was once used as a slag tip by a smelting operation at nearby Lowca. A source of some danger to adventurous lads at that time - the slag was molten when tipped, and cooled at its own pace underneath a dark grey crust - it is now returned to its former character and is used by hang gliders.
