Built in around 1755 and operational for 50 years, this charcoal-fired blast furnace was once used for smelting iron ore and is one of the best-preserved examples of its kind in Britain. Turned by the flow of the River Einion, the waterwheel - which can still be seen today - drove a huge set of bellows, which maintained the furnace at the extreme temperatures required.
