Please note
Funtley Iron Mill
We had this message from Peter Hamilton 'I recently tried to follow the footpath down Iron Mill Lane, through Funtley Farm, following the route Henry Cort used to transport wrought iron to Fareham and Gosport. I was apalled to find that all the footpath signs had been vandalized. On the East side of the farm the road that he strengthened with iron slag waste has been disguised and is now difficult to follow. I would like to see this area preserved so that when walkers exercise their right of access, they can think about Cort's contribution to British industry.
