Moorcock Lane lies across the middle of this photograph and the spoil heaps of ancient mining and quarrying are clearly visible above it in the evening sunshine of a winter day. There is a blast furnace and an old pit head near the centre of the picture.
It is likely that iron extraction and smelting ceased in the early years of the 17th century.

The photographs below show two views of the blast furnace. The road from Darley to Otley is visible in the the background of the first and the second is the view of the furnace from Moorcock Lane, a clear view in winter but it is obscured in summer when the trees are in leaf.
