Photograph Notes: An overview of the remains of the 'bark pots' which were originally built to heat oak bark in cast iron pots to extract the tannin, as a preservative for fishing nets and other equipment. There are three of these constructions hereabouts, two (with the brick chimneys at the back) of which date from the late 18th century, and the nearer (concrete) one is more recent mid 20th century. Oak bark was the original source of the preservative, but the business moved to using tar in due course. The whole set were Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101393739-bark-pots-at-the-anchorage-beadnell#.YYQxNmDP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1393739 in 2010, as a rare survival of only a small number of these features on the NE coast. There's a closer view of one of the older ones at [[7009067]]
