Step into the fiery heart of industrial revolution: a furnace room journey through time. Witness the manufacture of the Armstrong Gun at Woolwich Arsenal (1862) – casting, coiling, drawing down, and welding. Marvel at the International Exhibition building's forge (1862), and the colossal cylinder casting for HM's armored frigate Agincourt (Maudslay, 1862). Delve into the Lambeth Gas Works (1872), and extracting steel at Ideal Standard in Hull (1967). Retrace the footsteps of Denis Diderot in a 18th-century smithy (1751-1777), and feel the rhythm of the drop hammer's beat. Through these images, experience the heat, sweat, and innovation that fueled the Industrial Age.
