The forge can trace its roots back to 1640, most of what remains today dates back to the 1840's when it produced wrought iron railway axles. Production ceased in the 1900's and was abandoned a few years later.
Today it is under the guardianship of the South Yorkshire Industrial History Society and the South Yorkshire Trades Historical Trust. Who have done a fine job of restoring the forge.
They also have a vast collection of machinery many of which are in working order, a great thing to see and hear.
