Footpath to Firs Farm
Limb Valley Bole Hill lead smelting site
A footpath along the wall and remains of a hedgerow leading down to Firs Farm and the Porter Valley. This is just north of the Bole Hill Plantation in the Limb Valley. The western Sheffield suburb of Fulwood is visible in the distance.
There are many 'Bole Hills' in Sheffield and along the west-facing sandstone and gritstone escarpments of the Eastern Edges. Their elevated locations were ideal for wind-blown furnaces ('boles') for smelting lead ore which was brought in by pack-horses from the Peak District mines further to the west.
