The Hepworth Iron Works site looks like a brickworks to me. Evidence - kilns for firing bricks and stacks of the product. I understand clay and coal were mined at Crow Edge from the mid-nineteenth century, if not earlier, and clay pipes are still made on or near the site today

Hi MB,
The company name is Hepworth Iron Co (as painted on the roof in the photo), and this is their Works. But they produced clay products...here's the Graces Guide entry

It's odd how this fence runs up and over the slag heap. Do you think an earlier boundary, now hidden under the pile of waste, was being marked?
