| | Description of the Consett Iron Works 1892 - Part 2 |
 | | Amongst the property purchased were the Works at Consett, Crookhall, and Bradley, consisting of eighteen blast-furnaces, with puddling forges, extensive plate, angle and bar mills, and other adjuncts, producing 80,000 tons of pig iron per annum, and from 40,000 to 50,000 tons of finished iron. |
 | | The larger proportion of this is consumed at the Company's blast-furnaces, and the remainder is disposed of for use in the furnaces, andc., of Cumberland, Cleveland, and foreign pig iron producing centres. |
 | | When the transfer of the old plant to the new Company took place, there were six blast-furnaces at Consett, and also one which had been pulled down, and the foundations of which were being prepared for the erection of a larger furnace. |
