Furnace Cottages

[Malshie]

My Great Great Grandparents settled in Millom, Cumberland after leaving Ireland, during 1881, my gr.gr. grandfather worked as Ironworks Labourer,  their addresses were written down as

Borwick Rails and Furnace Cottages,  Workington would anyone know if these roads still exist  and are there any old photos around?

Thanks

It's only an index to pictures in several books, it doesn't lead to photo's.

Just thought it may have helped to locate a picture, I actually found the whole site very well laid out, and you can contact the owner as he says he has many digital photos.
