The Earl of Shrewsbury's Account Book of 1598-91 records two furnaces held at Kimberworth and Wadsley which were supplying iron for power forging at Attercliffe Forge (HSY 729) (see Munford 2003, 13 and Crossley 1989, 20). The substantial weir and goit survive in good condition alongside the Don Navigation Cut of 1835 (included within this polygon). The surviving industrial monuments of canal and goit are clearly visible and accessible to the public.
