Scope and Content Denny Iron Works, Glasgow Road, Denny, Falkirk This shows one of the electric induction furnaces being tapped by being tilted forward to pour its contents into crucibles or ladles. In this view a ladle is being used. The steel foundry is in the background. 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. 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.
