It looks like the Forestry Commission are trying to replant areas of the woodland.

This was built in the 1890s by Staffordshire Potteries Water Board. Of interest is that it was later used as a trig point! The point is marked with a domed rivet set in the top of the tower. It was the only roof station used during the 1937 Primary Re-triangulation in the Western Section.
