Description

The former Fussells Ironworks, dating from the late 19th century, includes the remains of various walls and an office building. The office building, located at the west end of the site, is two storeys high and features a mix of two and three windows. On the ground floor, there is a small square opening, two doors, a sash window opening, a wide access door, and an additional opening. The first floor has two small sash windows and three tripartite sash windows, all with brick surrounds and cambered heads. Attached to the left is the remains of a two-storey cottage, which is roofless, and there is a blue brick stack on the left gable of the main building.

The north boundary of the site is against a raised bank, marked by a rubble wall of varying heights, extending approximately 160 meters and tapering to a point to the west. This wall features several offsets and two openings. To the south of this wall are significant ruins of industrial buildings, including a three-arched vaulted section and several deep lined waterways or former rooms. Southeast of the office building, there is another rubble building with a low-pitched corrugated iron roof. The southern edge of the site is bordered by a stream that includes a weir, and at the eastern end, a section of the stream is lined with dressed stone revetment walls approximately 5 meters high from water level. This site is of great industrial archaeological significance and is set in a dramatic landscape.
