Carron Iron works
This is all that's left of a magnificent building that was 150 yards long, in the sixties, they sandblasted the whole front to take off the soot and grime that had built up over 200 years.
It really was splendid, then Carron Co. folded and the council took it over and demolished everything except this.
Behind the gates are two Carronades, the same type of guns are mounted on HMS Victory's foredeck, Nelson's flagship in London.
This is whats left of the railway bridge that took the pig iron to another part of the iron works, the area was enormous.
Carron foundry was founded in 1759, incorporated into the royal charter in 1763, and made armaments for centuries.
The blast furnaces were to the right of this bridge, I can still remember them, I was born 100 yards further up this road, Folks it was like hell on earth.
A wier just upstream from the bridge.
