We would be very interested to know if you have any memories, photos and objects relating to the ironworks which could help our research. Please contact  admin@backbarrowironworks.org.uk.

It is our long-term aim to create an interpretation area in one of the buildings which would explain the history of the place and how it worked, as well as producing literature and this website to promote awareness of the ironworks and its importance.

The Trust was established was established in 2018 to work with the site owners, the developers, and Historic England with the aim of taking over responsibility for the ironworks in 2020. The six trustees are all local people with a long-standing interest in the history and future of the site.
