A lovely old map of Wealden iron sites. The High Weald was part of the main iron-producing region in Britain during part of the Roman occupation and Tudor and early-Stuart times.
In fact, you can still see remains of charcoal hearths, iron ore mining and the pond bays used to power furnaces. Watch the Iron Story on our website: www.highweald.org/learn-about/landscape-stories/the-iron-story
