Ridsdale Iron Works
Scheduled Monument area of Risdale Iron Works - based on Historic England data (Open Government Licence).
The remains of Ridsdale Iron Works are to the north of Ridsdale in Northumberland. Established in 1836, the works consisted of 3 furnaces, an engine house, coke ovens, kilns, reservoirs, and tramways to connect with the ironstone mine at Broomhope and nearby sources of limestone and coal.[1] Largely, because of the remote location, the business closed c.1857.[2] In 1864, two of its furnaces were dismantled and taken to Armstrong's Elswick Works in Newcastle. The engine house is a Grade II listed building on the National Heritage List for England, and the site is a Scheduled Monument (legally protected). The ruins can be seen from the A68 road and at first impression can be mistaken for e a small castle!
