Whitecliff Ironworks
Whitecliff Ironworks, sometimes referred to as Whitecliff Furnace, at Coleford, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, are industrial remains associated with the production of iron, using coke, in the Forest of Dean.
==Background==
The first coke-fired blast furnace was constructed in 1709 at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire. With its huge iron-ore reserves and ready supply of timber, the Forest of Dean had been an area of national importance in the production of iron, using charcoal, for hundreds of years.〔(Forest Web, Charcoal Burning )〕 Despite there also being extensive coal measures, Forest of Dean coal did not produce coke which was ideal for smelting〔(Historical Metallurgy Society website )〕 and local 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 in the Forest of Dean, with Cinderford, Whitecliff and Parkend Ironworks being built almost simultaneously.〔(''The Whitecliff Ironworks in the Forest of Dean'', Part one, page 19 )〕
