Durante siglos, el campo fue el corazón de España ❤️🌾
De ahí nacieron nuestros alimentos, lenguas, caminos y canciones.
Hoy, muchos de esos pueblos son memoria… pero también posibilidad.

This is an old charcoal burning platform which is on my daily walking route - restored by my friend. There are a few others scattered through this wood, many others in the local area, and also remnants of the burners' dwellings. Click Alt for more.

#Cumbria #LakeDistrict #ruralheritage #history

A photo of a restored Cumbrian charcoal burning platform in the woods. It probably dates from 17th to 19th century. Charcoal burners had a tough life, living out in the woods, sometimes with their families in makeshift shelters. There's a reconstructed shelter just up the road from here at Haybridge Nature reserve. Charcoal was used for the local iron industry - it was the main fuel for smelting iron ore. The Lake District had plenty of iron ore and woodland, and the iron industry here goes back at least to the medieval period, if not before.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops remind us of uncomfortable but essential truths—that the banjo came from Africa, that string band music isn't just white Appalachian culture, and that understanding this history makes the music richer for everyone.
