5: The Iron Makers
' I made a kind of pledge that I would be the last in the iron trade, that I would carry on as far as I jolly well could and make this my object in life. All I can say is that we are the last in the iron trade.'
(CYRIL \valmsley, iron master)
True wrought-iron, the substance of the great works of Stephenson and Brunei, as much as the ornamental artist and village blacksmith, can only be made by hand. Today the only foundry in the world capable of making wrought-iron is still in production: the Atlas Forge in Bolton.
