Iron Stove

Ironwork from William Strutt's (1756-1830) Cotton Mills (South Mill) at Belper, Derbyshire, 1811-12, (two columns, one beam, three tie-rods). Strutt set about finding an answer to the problem of timber-floored buildings; his mill was the most technically advanced building of its time, incorporating an iron frame and brick arches to make it 'fire proof'.
