Full Description
Iron founders, smithy and wheelwright from 1820 and agricultural implement manufacturer from the late 1800s to 1900s. Originally powered by steam, being replaced by an oil engine later on. Structural drawings and plans indicate the presence of a forge, saw pit and wheelwrights shop. The foundry is noted in several directories including White's (S1) and Kelly's (S2) from 1836 to 1937. According to these, the firm expanded into general engineering at the beginning of the 20th century. The site is also marked as "Iron Foundry" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S3) and as the same on the 25 inch Ordnance Survey map (S4).
