Part of a cleared / development site (Jessops riverside). Polygon records extent of water powered site which was built by John Booth as a slitting mill in 1753. By the 1850s the forge had been joined to the west by the integrated steel works depicted in an illustration of 1858 (reproduced in Badcock 2000) showing an integrated steel production complex (typical of the period with cementation and crucible ranges) on either side of the river Don. The steelworks was demolished in the late 1980s and this site is currently under development as a business park. Water power is thought to have still been in use at this site in the early twentieth century (ibid, 4).
