This polygon relates to the site of the buildings for the Clough (grinding) Wheels (see SMR PRN1738). These were part of the Shrewsbury Estate in the 16th century, grinding being the main activity recorded until the end of the 18th century. By 1810 Crossley (1989) records a 'newly erected scythe manufactory' and it appears that at this time one of the two main 'hulls' was converted to a forging workshop with Miller(1949 p 44) recording that, "A record of 1834 shows that the grinding hull then contained eight edge-tool troughs, and was run by a water-wheel fourteen feet diameter by 7 feet ten inches wide, whilst the forge contained one forge hammer and two tilt hammers driven by a water wheel ten feet diameter eight feet wide. . . There was only sufficient power to run one forge hammer and one tilt hammer at the same time. " (ibid.) Crossley (1989 p 110) records that steam power was never introduced at this site having been prevented by a 1845 covenant on the lease, however the 1853 OS shows Clough Works as a manufacturer of steel. Samuel and Robert Linley who were at Clough Works from 1841 to 1881 are listed in the 1879 Whites Directory as manufacturers of Scythes, Sickles, Reaping Hooks etc, as well as other steel goods and advertising their services as Converters and makers of 'Blister, Double Shear and Refined Cast Steel' (advert p 34) indicating the use of both cementation and crucible furnaces. The 1891 map evidence shows the earlier water powered buildings either side of the wheel pit had been added to by the construction of a courtyard of workshops immediately to their east. The east end of the works had been demolished by 1905. The remaining buildings were cleared between 1905 and 1923 in advance of the construction of Rowsley Street which now occupies this site. Archaeological potential is fair as the majority of both the water powered and later edge tool works lie outside the area of possible later cellarage. Course of tail goit presumably to the north of this site unknown.
