Happy Birthday Kenneth!

24th April - Janet had to leave the Sabden Fold bloomery site  early as she was secretly plotting a birthday party for Kenneth.  So happy birthday Kenneth from all of us and hope the party went well!

Bloomery in Sabden Fold

Today we set out our planned excavation of a suspected bloomery (iron smelting site) at Sabden Fold, Goldshaw Booth, near Padiham, Lancashire.  We laid out a grid and undertook a levelling survey.  We start excavating 10.15am next Saturday, 1st May.  Why not come along?
