Foe Edge (ruin)

The ruins at Foe Edge stand out as a tall end-wall and slight return remain upstanding and are often seen from the surrounding hills across the valley. The views are amazing down the Graine Valley towards Haslingden and the Rossendale Valley beyond.

Foe Edge seems to have gone derelict sometime in the latter-half of the 20th Century which is later than many of the other lost dwellings in the area.
