Cinderford Ironworks
Cinderford Ironworks, also known as Cinderford Furnace, was a coke-fired blast furnace, built in 1795, just west of Cinderford, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England.
==Background==
The Forest of Dean, with its huge iron-ore reserves and ready supply of timber, had been an area of national importance in the production of iron, using charcoal, for hundreds of years.〔(Forest Web, Charcoal Burning )〕 Even the name Cinderford is thought to have derived from the term 'sinders', meaning clinker, that was left behind by early Roman ironworks ('ford' probably refers to the crossing over the Cinderford Brook).〔(Bygone Days )〕 The first coke-fired blast furnace was constructed in 1709 at Coalbrookdale, in Shropshire. However, despite there also being extensive coal measures in the Forest of Dean, local coal did not produce coke that was ideal for smelting and Forest ironmasters were reluctant to invest in the new technology. It was not until the last decade of the 18th century that coke-fired furnaces began to make an appearance, with Cinderford, Whitecliff and Parkend Ironworks being built almost simultaneously.〔(''The Whitecliff Ironworks in the Forest of Dean'', Part one, page 19 )〕
