Forest Dale Iron Works


The Forest Dale Iron Works was a blast furnace run in the mid-nineteenth century by Royal Blake. Blake once had up to 200 people working for him. Today, aside from this immense chimney, there is little left to remind one of the incredible blast furnace that was here, or the colliers from "Old Philadelphia" who once brought their horse and ox drawn wagons full of charcoal to this place.
