In search of Treacle

On a grey afternoon and needing a walk, I wandered round Natland because I'd heard rumours of a "treacle mine". In the absence of any evidence of treacle, this farm, with some typical Cumbrian chimney pots, caught my eye.  Perhaps there used to be a treacle factory.?  I did eventually find a cart in support of the rumour in a garden (extra) but internet research is inclusive on the subject.  
Thank you Blip friends who have  been following my nearly 3 weeks of travels during which time I had little time for commenting or visiting other journals.  You are a loyal and supportive lot .
