Summary edit

Description

Thomas Walmsley and Sons was a company that manufactured wrought iron. It was founded in 1866 or 1869 by Thomas Walmsley at the Atlas Forge on a site bounded by Bridgeman Street and Fletcher Street in Bolton, Lancashire. The forge had at least 16 puddling furnaces and forging and rolling mills. Production lasted for over 100 years until 1975 when it was the last plant in the United Kingdom to produce wrought iron. Its equipment was moved to the Blists Hill site of Ironbridge Gorge Museum for preservation. Some wrought iron is still being produced for heritage restoration purposes, but only by recycling scrap.
