Documentary Evidence


This water-driven forge at the west end of Stella once belonged to Peter Hutchinson of Ryton. This establishment was afterwards enlarged by the addition of an iron foundry, which in 1828 belonged to Mr Emmerson. It subsequently passed into the hands of Messrs R.J. and R. Laycock of Winlaton (see HER ref. 1813), who manufactured railway wagons. No sign of this once-thriving industry now remains.
