A short visit to the (seemingly) much forgotten Askam in Furness.

Situated North of Dalton on the A595.

Approaching Askam on the recently constructed new road.

A view of Askam Brick Works looking out over the Duddon Estuary towards Millom and Black Combe Mountain.

A little further on a view of 'The Lots' at Askam. Again looking towards Black Combe.

Askam Railway Station

Looking along Duddon Road towards the shore. The sign at the gates of the Kay Shoe Factory and Shop announces the recent closure and have now moved to Kendal. Another blow to the prestige and economy of the community.
