General - Stanton Iron Works - Photo Request...

[Oxygen Thief]

I got this email yesterday. Seems like a cause we should help out with if we can...

Hi

My name is Bill Hammond my company purchased Stanton Iron Works about a year ago, we have undertaken a major demolition project, but have managed to keep some of the original Brick buildings, two of which we have already refurbished and operate our construction business from.

The reason for my enquirey is we are interested in building a portfolio for the sites history and would welcome contact from any of your members who have taken photographs of the site.

We took a number of photos of the site pre demolition but have nothing of the quality of your members.

Please pass my contact details on to any of your members who would be interested in supporting our project, they are very welcome to revisit the site at any time.

Best Regards

Bill Hammond

Take what you want. Probably would have been a better idea to have let me in when I offered to take pre demolition photos for you tho!

Not the best quality and these are the only sizes I have, but you're welcome to use them. I have copies without watermarks.

Does anyone know if this site has been definitely demolished now?

Hi, having worked in this foundry in the early 2000's I can identify most of the building elements in these photos. Happy to help.
