Description: | A reproduction of an 1869 illustration entitled 'Pits and Furnaces' by Mrs. A. Payne. Although parts of the illustration are inaccurate and out of scale (the coke hearths in the bottom right-hand corner are too large), it gives a clear picture of the works. The image illustrates the fact that the furnaces were hot blast because the stoves can be seen to the right of the furnaces in the centre of the image. Also clearly illustrated are the tunnel heads on top of the furnaces, the cold blast main leading from the blowing engine house (middle distance) to the stoves, and the gas main from the backs of the furnaces to the boiler house. To the left of the furnaces can be seen the pig beds. | 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 |
