Brymbo furnace

Brymbo furnace
An excellent open day at the Brymbo steelworks site showed the extensive remains there. This early blast furnace survived due to being retained as a foundry sand hopper after it was blown out.

When you say 'early blast furnace' how long ago would that have been?

This blast furnace was blown-in c1796. There were several other furnaces erected later, but none of these have survived.
