Modern housing built on the site of the former Steel and Iron Works. The Yorkshire Steel and Iron Works was founded in Penistone by Daniel Adamson in 1863 (www.tameside.gov.uk/tmbc/danieladamson [Accessed 9/2/07]). It was a major employer in the area and was one of the factors which led to an increase in the local population. The steel works constructed estates of housing for its workers at Spring Vale and Spring Gardens. (Hey 2002). The works was expanded in the early 20th century but by 1948 maps this site was empty and all work had transferred across the train lines (see HSY6056). There is no legibility of the previous steel works.
