Description
Two furnaces built on the site of Dawley Castle were brought into blast in 1810. They produced pig for the forges at Horsehay (SA 12716) and Coalbrookdale (SA 650). Iron production ceased in 1883 <1>
Castle Pool SJ68840615 is probably connected with the furnaces rather than the castle site. M Watson comment, 13/7/84 <0>
