Cottages at Upper Forge
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 19 Apr 2015
A terrace of cottages, presumably once homes to workers at the former foundry and ironworks at Upper Forge. This was one of a pair, in conjunction with the industry at Image, which was operated by the Pemberton and Stokes company between 1789 and about 1814. Ownership changed over the years, and Lower Forge continued in business until the 1880s, although it seems likely that Upper Forge had ceased to be viable well before that date.
