Wren Gill, Cumbria

Old pipeline, Wrengill Quarry, Longsleddale

Uploader's Comments

A rusting old pipe runs along an artificial ledge from higher up the gill. This is the point where it descends towards the abandoned slate workings where it probably provided hydraulic power to operate machinery or generate electricity for the same purpose.
