The earliest reference to a bloomforge (water-powered iron smelting furnace) at Cunsey is an agreement in 1623 to purchase woods for the supply of charcoal.
The forge stands on the CunseyBeck by a silted-up pond created by building a 2m-high dam across the valley bottom.
In June 2002 the local Ranger informed the LDNPA Senior Archaeologist that the standing building remains at the CunseyBeck Forge, on the west side of Windermere, had been partly demolished.
