Description: | A reproduction of a 1952 photograph of a mural painting on the wall of the Red Lion public house that stood opposite the Ironworks. The mural was12ft long and 5ft high (3.6 by 1.5m), and the artist is unknown although it is suggested that it was done by a travelling artist in return for lodging. It is important in showing that the left-hand furnace had been modernised and raised in height at some time prior to the date of the painting (although the date is unknown it can be guessed as being painted around the 1880s). A hoist has been added (left) to help with access to the newly raised blast furnace. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Photographs Iron industry Iron-works | Temporal: | [Late 20th cent] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
