Scope and Content Denny Iron Works, Glasgow Road, Denny, Falkirk This shows the two modern cupolas in the works. In front of the one on the left is the hoist for taking materials up to the charging level, the corrugated iron-clad platform halfway up. The cupolas have spark-arresting tops. To the right are molten metal barrows of traditional type. 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.
