The Black Bull, Preesall
The Black Bull, Preesall near Knott End on the Lancashire Coast.
In 1872 a group of men from Barrow in Furness stayed at the inn during their search for iron ore in the area. None was found, but they did discover a bed of rock salt, from which they took a sample. Upon returning to the inn, the landlord's 17-year-old daughter Dorothy Parkinson processed the sample by dissolving, filtering and boiling it. In doing so, she had created the first example of Preesall salt. In 1902, Preesall Salt Works was built on the east bank of the River Wyre, to the north of the village's salt marshes.
