Dist:0.2km<br/>Here metal bars from Wortley Top Forge were heated and hammered into shape to produce nails. You had to make thousands of nails in a day to make a living, so the whole family helped to do the work.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This worried me. Only half of the chimney is supported and the roof structure is not very strong. The chimney sits on an iron plate, which I suppose must be secured to the brickwork around the back of the hearth by long rag bolts. However that brickwork is in a poor state.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Hoylandswaine - it's an odd name isn't it? The prefix "Hoyland" means "high farm" and is very probably derived from Old Norse as is the suffix "swaine" which may be after "Sveinn" the son of Ailric who died in 1129. Hence Hoylandswaine most likely means "the high farm of Sveinn"
