In 1866 it was purchased by partners Messrs Samuel Hingley and William Robinson Smith following the former owner declaring himself bankrupt. In 1922 the Ironworks became one of the Hingley Group of companies. The Iron works specialised in producing high quality wrought iron i.e. Best Yorkshire, Crown Iron and Grades A & B including rolled angles, flats, rounds, tees and fencing channels.
