Askam Iron Works
An extract from the 1911 OS 25 inch map showing the Askam Iron Works and associated railway lines. These include bottom right the junction with the Furness Railway main line and a bridge at the start of a mineral line leading to Mouzell Ironstone Mine. Also to the left the slag tipping lines on Askam Pier. Askam station, still open, is at the top of the picture. The Iron Works had actually closed (or been mothballed) in 1907 but production started again in 1916 and continued until 1932. The main part of the works site is now covered by housing.
