There's a bit of a clue in the name Coppice as to what the hill looked like back in the day Susie.

There is a thread about the origin of the name, somewhere onsite, can't find it at the mo', tapatalk lousy for searches, but, it isn't what you think.

Thank you.
Thanks Margaret an interesting read, nonetheless all the area was forested at one time stretching all the way to the forest of Bowland....coppicing in terms of managing that woodland makes more sense ....and we have acorns on our coat of arms.
Well your lucky, we have just discovered today that there is going to be a enormous 35metre wind turbine errected just off Willows lane, smack bang on the little bit of green belt we have left in this area.
So next time you are up the coppice you should be able to see the turbine, hopefully you won't get one up there.

The trees were planted to stop the shale slipping I think.Didn't know you could see 'em from Morecambe.
If Peter Britcliffe had his way we would have had a panopticon on the top of the coppice
No but I can probably see Great Gable on a clear day.Didn't know you could see 'em from Morecambe.
You don't coppice oaks - it's usually hazel. A few years ago I lived in an area where this was carried out as a cottage industry producing spars for thatching and poles for fence panels. We had a hazel coppice next to our house and our village pub had a unique name, the Hook and Glove, being the implements used - a billhook and a leather glove.
Well I'm no expert but a quick Google of Coppice Oak suggests you can, but correct me if I am wrong.
OK I didn't say you can't, I said you didn't. Oak is usually left as the standards among which the coppice crop is grown and cut down on a relatively short cycle and the oak can be cut on a longer cycle... sorry it's geting a bit late for lucid explanations...
From memory he was very much against it
35m is only a baby turbine, the ones on Ossy moor are 80m to the nacelle and 120m from the ground to the tip of the blade at its highest point

Well I reckon the dendrological link/explanation for the Coppice is stronger than that of a Dutch description of a hill. Maybe folk on here will correct me but I can't think of any other places near here on the map with links to the land of dykes. And Hollands Pies doesn't count.
