Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was carried out at the site of the former Eliza Tinsley Ironworks, Reddal Hill Road, Cradley Heath West Midlands. Eliza ''the widow'' Tinsley moved here ironworks to the site in 1853. The surviving remains of the earliest works were structure A , the chain shop, fabric within structre Band the original southern elements of the house structure D. Production shifted in the latter half of the 19th century from nail-making to chain-making. The site represented an interesting example of the locally imported chain industry, despite minimal survival of the original works and large-scale alteration of the site during the 20th century. |
