The hearth in the Nail Forge, Hoylandswaine
Here metal bars from Wortley Top Forge were heated and hammered into shape to produce nails. You had to make thousands of nails in a day to make a living, so the whole family helped to do the work.

The chimney in the Nail Forge, Hoylandswaine
This worried me. Only half of the chimney is supported and the roof structure is not very strong. The chimney sits on an iron plate, which I suppose must be secured to the brickwork around the back of the hearth by long rag bolts. However that brickwork is in a poor state.
