Scope and Content Denny Iron Works, Glasgow Road, Denny, Falkirk This shows a hand-moulding machine, a device for producing numbers of identical moulds with a minimum of hand work. The man is ramming up sand in a moulding box which is sitting on top of a plate pattern. This will form half of the mould. This firm was primarily a maker of agricultural machinery, especially ploughs and Cambridge rollers, and also made iron and steel castings as engineering components, for, among others, J & T Boyd, textile machinery makers, Glasgow, who made this moulding machine. The iron founding industry was a speciality of the south-east corner of Stirlingshire, with the towns of Larbert, Denny, Falkirk and Bonnybridge all having several firms engaged in this business. The Denny Iron Works was founded in 1870, and belonged to Cruikshank & Co Ltd. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
