The Mushet- Samuel Osborn steel venture is well documented (I think there are some documents about it elsewhere on this site, the names of the six men to whom I referred are recorded in a book written by one of the Osborn family (referred to by someone else in another section of this website). Osborn Mushet was a very large steel works and significant in the history of steel not just in Sheffield but world-wide as it specialised in making the special kind of steel developed by Mushet. The original works is still in Sheffield but sadly the building is now for sale. The Mushets were originally Scottish and moved to the Forest of Dean.
