Holwell Industrial Site
The Holwell Ironworks are a shade of their former self and the ill fated Vale of Belvoir/Asfordby coal mine is history; large site is now becoming an industrial estate. The ironworks were taken over by the French company SAINT-GERMAN and some pipe production continues on the site.

Holwell Works
Still producing cast iron drainage products although much reduced in extent from its heyday. Set up in the late 19th century by the Holwell Iron and Coal company to exploit its ironstone workings, it later became part of Stanton and Staveley and is now part of the French St Gobain group.
