Description: | The company was started in 1813, and mainly produced ploughshares. The new premises were started in 1857 and were close to the river and the railway, so allowing raw materials and finished products to be moved in and out with ease. A light railway allowed goods to be transported around the site in hand-pushed trucks. | Subjects: | Iron Foundry Industry Rafter | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Cole, S W | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
