Abstract

A list, compiled in 1788, of coke-fired blast furnaces which were both built and abandoned between 1750 and 1788, survives amongst other lists of ironworks in the Boulton & Watt archive at Birmingham Reference Library. The 14 furnaces listed there, plus one other with a similar history, are located on the ground and their history discussed in the light of other evidence. The paper forms part of the author's wider study of contemporary statistical evidence relating to the British iron industry in the 18th and 19th centuries.
