DaFoot Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I heard a rumour not so long back that the Hillfoot Steel forge on Bradfield road, Hillsborough, is to be closing down. Any idea if this is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waxonwaxoff Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Apprantley they are not closing. They are moving to a new and bigger forge. The council have restricted hammer hours and local neighbours complaining about the noise. so i have been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit, those pesky industries trying to make things, employ people, contribute to GB PLC. Obviously the local neighbours didn't know about Sheffield's steel heritage when they bought their houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why I was asking...when we moved to a nearby property we were told they be closing/moving but haven't yet...wanted to see if it was right or if we were being lied to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Does anyone know how long this place has been closed?. I drove past on Saturday for the first time in a year or two to notice my ex place of employment boarded up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
