| OLD ENGLISH CRAFTS; CHARCOAL BURNING | |||
| Date: 1973 Film Number: 5146 | |||
| Jack and Bill Allonby are filmed undertaking the process of traditional charcoal burning in Grizedale Forest. They are pictured collecting grass and building "hurdles" (wind shields) made of wood and bracken. A large stack of timber is constructed, starting with a centre pole supported by a tripod. A "motty peg" is shaped and placed on top of the centre pole to create a chimney for the stack. Jack and Bill are seen lining the sides of the completed stack with grass and soil to prevent air getting in. Grass sods are dug and placed on top of the stack for the same purpose. After shots of the men taking a break in their nearby "living cabin", the motty peg is removed from the stack, charcoal is placed inside the chimney and the burning process begins. Jack and Bill are shown returning to the stack, cooling it using water and soil, then opening it up and transferring the charcoal into sacks using oak baskets.
