Aerial view of Crag Foot, Silverdale
Aerial view of Crag Foot, The Embankment, Jenny Brown's Point and RSPB Leighton Moss, Silverdale, Lancashire.
Crag Foot Chimney was the site of a mid 19th century pumping station, built to drain the mosses so they could be used for agriculture. Since the pumping stopped, the area has reverted back to marshland and from 1974 it has become an important RSPB nature reserve. Regular dredging of the peat is needed to maintain the levels of open water on the reserve.
