Bonnybridge Foundry and Columbian Stove Works, Bonnybridge. Smith & Wellstood Ltd.

Aerial view of Smith & Wellstood Ltd.'s premises at Bonnybridge, including the Bonnybridge Foundry (upper r.) and Columbian Stove Works (lower l. centre). Illustration from a 1934 brochure on their "Esse Heat Storage Cooker".

The Foundry was erected to supply the Singer Sewing Machine Company. In 1890 Singers opened their own foundry and Bonnybridge was bought over subsequently by Smith and Wellstood who also owned the Columbian Stove Works.

It was some size, and incororated a number of businesses including;

Messrs. David Gillies & Sons

Rollo Industries

Messrs. E. Dyer (Engineering) Ltd.

Smith, Wellstood and Ure & Co.

Campbell Ferguson & Co., later became

George Mitchell & Sons Ltd.

Woodlea Foundry

Broomside Foundry Co. (1922) Ltd

Messrs. Lane & Girvan

Chattan Stove Works (Bonnyside Road)

Messrs. E. & R. Moffat

Dempster, Moore &Co. (Machinery) Ltd., Glasgow

Banknock Foundry

Broomridge Foundry

By the mid 1990s the site was cleared and today little remains of the old foundry buildings.

What Materials Are Frequently Utilized In Iron Work Services, And Also Just How Do They Contribute To The Total Toughness?

In the wide realm of building and also construction, iron job solutions command a substantial location as a result of their necessity in developing resilient structures. The integral stamina, convenience, and also longevity of iron make it an optimal product for numerous applications varying from constructing frameworks to crafting complex decorative aspects.

However, the total long life as well as efficiency of iron-based frameworks are not exclusively contingent on the natural buildings of this metal; they are equally affected by the type of materials utilized combined with iron as well as the particular treatments applied during the construction procedure.

The extensive use alloys-- compounds made by incorporating two or even more metallic elements-- is a testimony to this reality. Alloys boost the physical buildings of pure metals, making them preferable for particular applications.

For instance, adding carbon to pure iron results in steel-- an alloy known for its increased strength and resistance versus wear and tear. Similarly, surface treatments like galvanizing can considerably improve corrosion resistance, consequently expanding the lifespan of iron frameworks.

This article aims to clarify these typically made use of materials in iron job services while elucidating exactly how they add towards boosting general sturdiness.

Checking out the Function of Alloys and Treatments in Enhancing Long Life of Structures

The unification of alloys and treatments in iron work services becomes a perfect symbol of strength as well as long life, dramatically boosting the sturdiness as well as life expectancy of frameworks.

Alloys are a fusion of 2 or more metallic elements, which when combined, existing superior homes contrasted to individual parts. Significantly, steel - an alloy predominantly made up of iron and also carbon - is renowned for its high tensile strength as well as malleability. It has become a staple in building due to these top qualities combined with its resistance to environmental results such as rusting. Other prominent selections consist of cast iron, identified by its terrific solidity as well as put on resistance, making it excellent for applications where toughness is paramount.

Moreover, various treatments have been created to additionally improve these intrinsic characteristics of alloys made use of in the field. Hot-dip galvanizing involves finish iron or steel with zinc, giving cathodic defense that prevents deterioration successfully. Similarly, powder layer uses added protection versus weathering whilst at the same time supplying a visually pleasing finish. The procedure entails using powdered paint electrostatically onto steel surface areas after that treated under warm to develop a difficult shell-like layer over the product's surface area.

These treatment approaches not only add in the direction of enhancing general architectural integrity but additionally supply considerable financial benefits by minimizing maintenance expenses and also expanding service life cycles.

On Sunday 26th August 1787, with his friend Willie Nicol, about to embark on their Highland tour, paid a wee visit to the Carron Iron Works at Falkirk. If you’ve walked down Falkirk High Street you may have seen the plaque above a shop opposite the Callendar Square “shopping” Mall, where Rabbie and Willie stayed the night before. They set out next morning to visit the famous Carron Works - only to find it shut, because it was a Sunday. There was no way he would have been allowed in the ironworks on the Sabbath and allegedly he’d also lied about who he was, so Rabbie and his pals retired to the Carron Inn for the night. One thing led to another as it does when the drink is flowing. Rabbie had been gifted with a diamond tipped stylus by an admirer and he used it to scratch a very cheeky poem on the window of the inn:

We cam na here to view your works, In hopes to be mair wise, But only, last we gang to Hell, It may be be nae surprise; But when we tirl’d at your door, Your porter dought na bear us; Sae may, should we to Hell’s yetts come, Your billie Satan sair us. Not to be outdone, Mr Benson, a talented employee of Carron Company, wrote a reply to the impudent bard If you came here to see our works, You should have been more civil, Than to give a fictitious name, In hopes to cheat the Devil. Six days a week to you and all, We think it very well; The other, if you go to church, May keep you out of Hell.

Clearly, the company was unimpressed by their celebrity guest. Who knows what became of the window? Maybe it was smashed when the old inn was demolished or maybe some lucky soul has it hidden away somewhere. It was a joke back then but would be a priceless object now!

The Ploughman Poet returned to visit Carron works on a weekday, and reputedly later said: “The blazing furnaces and melting iron realised the description of the giants forging thunderbolts”.

Ponysaurus Brewing Co.

Raleigh Iron Works is just one of the numerous development projects in the city that promised to bring high class living, work, shopping and dining all in the same community. The development had got the city buzzing by bringing in popular Triangle eateries like Andia's Ice Cream and Eastcut Sandwiches to the Oak City. Adding to the hype is the celebrated Ponysaurus Brewery. What started out as a tiny nanobrewery in 2015 has grown to a multiple locations throughout NC. The team was gracious enough to send me a sneak preview invite.

Ponysaurus opening in Raleigh is also a homecoming for Executive Chef Jeff Seizer and CDC Roxy Garza. Chef Seizer established himself in the Raleigh culinary scene with his work at the City Market favorite, Royale, before it fell victim to the pandemic. Chef Garza has worked in Raleigh classics, Fiction Kitchen and Lily's Pizza.

I am a sucker for places that can dress up the common bar snack without making it a lesser version of the original. Regular popcorn is great and is already a terrific compliment to a beer. But the peppery and herb kick of the brewery's rendition was a satisfying twist to the snack.

At the center of the Ponysaurus menu is their pizza. A host of intriguing toppings make up the specialty pizza menu. Like the clam pie feels like an ode to New Haven apizza. I ordered the Fox and Farm pie, which featured local mushrooms & charred radicchio.

Bringing another Bull City eatery to the Capital City, Ponysaurus ice cream sandwich was a collaboration with Downtown Durham's Simon Says Dip This. A rotating feature, the inaugural rendition included tiramisu and toasted hazelnut.

Admittedly, sometimes I feel a bit weary of these developments like Raleigh Iron Works. As if the intentionality to bring all things together in one place feels less organic than I'd preferred. But Raleigh Iron Works and how it's given space for so many local spots, like Ponysaurus Raleigh, show how these kind of development can do good.
