Scope and Content Denny Iron Works, Glasgow Road, Denny, Falkirk This shows the interior of the light moulding shop, a relatively modern steel-framed building. The plant in the middle is for recovering sand which has been used for carbon dioxide moulding, a process in which sand is mixed with sodium silicate, and after moulding, is hardened by treatment with carbon dioxide gas. This firm was primarily a maker of agricultural machinery, especially ploughs and Cambridge rollers, and also made iron and steel castings as engineering components, for, among others, J & T Boyd, textile machinery makers, Glasgow. The iron founding industry was a speciality of the south-east corner of Stirlingshire, with the towns of Larbert, Denny, Falkirk and Bonnybridge all having several firms engaged in this business. The Denny Iron Works was founded in 1870, and belonged to Cruikshank & Co Ltd. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
