iron foundry
Casting facility place
An iron foundry is a facility where iron is melted and cast into shapes using molds.
The process involves heating iron to its liquid state in furnaces, then pouring it into sand or metal molds to create everything from machine parts to decorative ironwork.
Foundries differ from forges, where solid metal is shaped by hammering.
The old iron foundry produced stoves and farm equipment for the region.
