Dear Psycho

Which foundry are you talking about - Morpeth or Spittal?  You also have not stated which time period you are looking at.

You may want to consider looking at a site that gives old maps -  I think it's called old-maps.co (or something similar).

Hi
If it's the iron foundry at Spittal you are referring to it was situated at the site of now Martin's printers along the end of the maiin street on the right hand side. There are still some original features remaining inside (timbers etc).

My grandfather and his father worked there
