West Beck beside the Thornton Rust sheepfold

'Here sheep wash and clipping was undertaken to wash out lanolin and ticks (and salve) from sheep fleeces before clipping. The stream was blocked at the lower end of the sheep dip site by inserting a wooden slab between the two large stone slabs (which can be seen in the photo in front of the hole in the dry stone wall) set in the stream. This created a large pool into which the sheep were driven and individually washed. This practice stopped in the early 1900s. One reason was that the wool processors realised that lanolin was a valuable product which they preferred to be left in the fleeces to process themselves'.
