Charcoal and water-powered forges were a major feature in the area, the water used to turn sharpening wheels for scythe-making.[2] There was once a water-mill here: there is still a mill-pond,[2] a mill building (which now houses local businesses) and 19th century terraced housing, all of which is evidence of the former industry.
