This site, outside of the area studied by Miller (1949) and Crossley et al (1989), does not appear to have been known to SYAS before this project. The earliest record for the site so far traced is to the "Holmes Steel Works" of Peter Stubs and Co. listed under "Converters and Shear Steel Manufacturers" in White (1849). The site is listed in the 1879 Whites directory (p860) under "Steel Tilters, Rollers and Forgers" as "Dyson Holmes Steelworks" and by the 1901 edition an advert for Joseph Rodgers and Sons lists its 'Steel Works' as being at 'River Lane' and 'Dyson Holmes Tilt'. The site appears to have gone out of use between the 1905 and 1938 OS 6inch editions. By 1959 the main works building to the immediate south of the dam were demolished and the dam no longer holding water. The weir, head goit and tail goit are shown clearly on 2003 OS data as are the earthworks of the dam and a related domestic building still in place. The site of the works complex has not been built over. Partial legibility of former water powered tilt and ?steel works.
