Alfie House Steelworks

Alfie House Steelworks was a historic industrial site where steel was produced on a large scale. It involved the transformation of raw materials like iron ore and coal into steel through processes such as smelting and refining. The facility included furnaces, rolling mills, and other machinery to shape and treat the metal. As an important part of industrial development, it contributed significantly to local employment and economic growth. Over time, the steelworks was phased out or closed, reflecting changes in manufacturing and technology. Today, such sites may be vacant, repurposed, or preserved as industrial heritage.
