IS THAT BLACKO TOWER?

After our shopping trip we had a ride over to Blacko village which is about a mile from our home.

Overlooking the village of Blacko is Stansfield Tower (also known as Blacko Tower), which was built around 1890.

A local grocer, Jonathan Stansfield, built this circular rough stone tower to provide himself with a view over Ribblesdale from the top, but the height fell somewhat short.

A Bronze Age axe, believed to be 3,500 years old, was found near the tower in 1952.
