Hi
In the vicinity (10 Minute Walk)of Ellwood were the Darkhill Ironworks Started By David Mushet in 1810 and on his death run by his 3 sons in particular Robert Mushet who developed a Steel making process (See Wikipedia) at the nearby Titanic Steelworks which was in existence until 1874, there were Men employed there and it is possible that there were Women too. Does anyone else know more about this?
