hello again Lesley
I don't know if you have found the description of the Snedshill Ironworks area on the following site, but it contains a map that I found really interesting

Enjoy !

Hi Lesley
Although I can see no connection with your family, you may be interested to know that my great great Grandfather Joseph Brookes was Stocktaker at the ironworks in 1861 and he and his family lived at Snedshill Coppice. The workers at the neighbouring properties, Snedshill Forge Houses, are John Adams - Forgeman Pudler, Samuel Jones - Labourer, Samuel Ellis - Forgeman, John Clay - Furnace Labourer.
I'd be interested to hear any details you may have about the ironworks.
Richard
