Bark Peeler's Hut, Witherslack
Remains of a bark peeler's hut, High Park Wood, Witherslack, Cumbria.
These 19th century huts were the summer homes of bark peelers and their families. The huts had a round stone base with a hearth and a wigwam shaped roof supported by wooden poles. A bark peeler removed bark from oak coppice then sent it to a tannery where it was used in the leather making process. Their families would have made and sold brooms and clothes pegs.
