"GLOUCESTERSHIRE IRON MANUFACTORY"
'To be Let, and entered upon on Lady-Day next. All those buildings now employed in the Iron Manufactory at Upper Redbrooke, In the County of Gloucester, with six Dwelling Houses thereto belonging, occupied by Workmen. The business in which these Works are at present, and for some years past have been principally engaged, is that of making spades, shovels, locks, hinges, edge tools and the like; but the Situation and Convenience of the Premises are such, that many other Branches of the Iron Manufactory might be added to the present, and the Whole carried on there on the most commodious and enlarged Plan. The above lie on a fine Stream of Water, which command every part of the Works, are within an hundred yards of the River Wye, and can be supplied with coal and proper timber on very reasonable terms.
For further particulars apply to Mr. Aubry Barnes, in Monmouth; or to Mr. Peter James; at High Meadow House, who will show the premises."
