Scope and Content Denny Iron Works, Glasgow Road, Denny, Falkirk This shows the interior of the store, also used as a light machine shop. The objects on the left are centrifugal pump impellers, a speciality of the firm, and presumably cast in alloy steel. This building was probably part of the original works. 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.
