Summary
| Description |
English: Furzehill Dorset The village stores at Furzehill are located in Smugglers Lane close to the cross roads at the centre of the village. The name Furzehill is appropriate as furze is the name given to gorse, one of the predominant plants on the old heathland that covered this local area for centuries. Only a small amount of the heath remains in dorset due to the change in use of the heaths. Furze was widely used as firewood by commoners on the heath for centuries and this practice was detailed by Thomas Hardy in books such as Return of the Native , set on a Dorset heath. |
