I have a Harry Weston (b1865) who was listed as an Iron Moulder living in Belper, Derbyshire in the 1881 and 1891 census. He spends the rest of his life (up to the 1911 census) as an Iron Moulder living in Wigston, Leicestershire. I suppose the trade is clear in so far as he was moulding iron (natch) but what sort of things would he have been making? Where would he have worked? I have googled iron works + wigston, then leicestershire but no returns that point to this sort of industry in a historical setting. The inference from the census returns is that there was a "visitor/boarder" from London staying with them in Belper who was an Iron Moulder. Harry is subsequently listed with this trade and he then moves to Healey Street in Wigston Magna where he has a wife and then a family.

Bingo - got it. Next to the Grand Union Canal and a railway line. Nearby is a boot and shoe factory, a biscuit factory and Brunswick Mills. Healey Street is just up the road. All nearby the present Park Road, Wigston.
