Description:
Established in 1872, it is the oldest continuously operating foundry in Australia. It is famous for its production of iron lace, ornamental and other castings. It also has an extensive collection of cedar patterns and early blacksmiths' and founders' tools. The entire foundry is in original working condition and is a fascinating industrial relic. During the 1880's the foundry was extremely busy making the iron lace work you see today that grace the buildings in Uralla and Armidale and even some of the buildings in Newtown and Glebe in Sydney's inner suburbs. The staff give guided tours and demonstrate the workings of the foundry. A gift shop sells some of the fine craftsmanship produced at the foundry.
