Image shows cast-iron bevel gears for the cast-iron undershot waterwheel which powered the helve-hammer dating from 1740. These are grade II listed
and are part of the long heritage of Kirkstall Forge. The stone building to which the mechanism is fixed is also Grade II listed. One of the first Slitting Mills in the country was erected here in 1676 by Thomas Dickin and William Cotton. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | listed Waterwheel Kirkstall Forge | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
