Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet is a steel working site with a very long history, with evidence dating back to pre-13th Century. The site has been used for iron forging for at least 500 years.
You can see production processes, learn how the machinery was powered and gain insight into the lives of the workers and their families, either through displays, photographs, CD-Rom or through the interactive Works Gallery. On special days you can see the preserved buildings, furnaces, water wheels and machinery being demonstrated.
