The company was originally called Low Moor Iron Works and then Low Moor Alloy Steel Works. Although this flywheel is more like 16 feet in diameter the reference to 16 inch is the diameter of the rollers which were driven by this piece of heavy engineering.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This road used to go through Low Moor Iron Works. The old industry has been replaced by modern sheds, but these old cottages have survived. There are seven of them, two-up and two-down plus cellar, built before1841 for skilled workers employed by the iron works. They had an allotment at the back.
