Wastwater From Brown Tongue
Early 20th Century
Looking West down the flank of Brown Tongue, a small ridge which splits Lingmell Gill. The grassy slopes of the Tongue descend to the valley bottom and head of Wastwater. Small trees scattered across the fells and valley bottom. Opposite are the fells of Buck Barrow, Middle Fell and Yewbarrow with the gap of Great Door clearly visible. The Wasdale Head road runs along the base of Yewbarrow.

"Mr R [Dann] This is the Dept. where I work. The two articles like gasometers are the working chambers + the gun mount. The two boiler like affairs (those near the 2 men on right) are trunks these extend from shell room to gun breach and have hydraulic cages to carry shells. One trunk feeds 2 guns at the rate of 2 shells each per minute. In the distance we have two guns in the armour arrangement which in turn goes on top of gun mount. The 3 guns on the [nests] on the floor are 13.5” in diameter. They fire 80 shells + then require fluted rifling inside renewing. ”
