Probably the site of the Earl of Shrewsbury's Kimberworth blast furnace listed in the Account book (iron) of 1583-91 (quoted by Crossley et al 1989). Blast furnaces remained on the site for the following 300 or so years being rebuilt and relined by the Walker brothers in 1758, converted from charcoal to coke in 1780 and enhanced by steam powered blast in 1781 although water power continues to be utilised during suitable weather conditions (Munford 2003, 35-36). Furnaces were operated on the site by the Park Gate Iron Company from 1854-1920 (Bayliss 1995, 21). The site is currently cleared land although archaeological remains may well survive below ground. The site has fragmentary legibility as an early industrial site. One mid twentieth century building from the later phases of J.J. Habershon and Sons (specialist founders) survives.
