War of the Roses - 1455

This iron pit, part of the Weald iron industry, served as a crucial site for iron extraction during and after the War of the Roses. Its proximity to Ashdown Forest, abundant in iron ore and timber for charcoal, made it an invaluable resource for producing iron goods and weaponry. Control over this site is critical for factions seeking to bolster their arsenal and economic strength in the region.
