The Forge, Dorrington, Shropshire
This iron furnace and forge was built in about 1605 and remained in operation virtually unchanged until 1742. The forge was subsequently converted into a paper mill in 1801, which closed in 1815. The remains of the furnace may have been incorporated in Forge House. The site has more recently been used as a petrol station.
