Brushed metal plaque № 50074

Three metres below this site lie the remains of Pond Tilt Forge 1793-1856. The tilt hammer forged Sheffield steel, powered by the rivers Sheaf and Porter. The forge closed to make way for the railway after a working life that included use as a grinding wheel and timber saw mill.
