Mill pond, Wisewood
Looking towards the dam of the millpond for Wisewood Forge. The buildings are a new housing development and replace those of the former forge. Wisewood Forge consisted of two separate mills, the forge itself and, downstream of it, a rolling mill.

Wisewood Forge Dam
This is the mill pond and dam off the River Loxley, from the old Wisewood Forge and Wisewood Forge Rolling Mill. In the foreground can be seen where the paddles would have regulated the flow of water down the head race to the water wheels. The site was the subject of an archaeological investigation when the Loxley Park Retirement Home was built, part of which can be seen on the right of the picture. Some more information and a picture (Figure 9. Excavations at Wisewood Forge) can be seen here http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/matshef/symonds/MSsym.htm Taken during the Geograph Conference 2012 second guided walk.

Drop forge anvil, Wisewood Forge site
The Wisewood Forge site has been recently redeveloped for housing. Ever since the Byker in the mid-1970s Image it has become standard practice to incorporate features and materials from a site into the successor development. They acknowledge the past and create a connection with it. In contrast with another forge anvil placed in a formal setting and thereby given significance, this example, sadly, is merely incongruous.
