Red Man's Way |

"Red Man's Way and Miners Sculpture"
Red Man's Way is a recreational path running the
length of Barrow's slag bank site in an area
formerly occupied by the Hindpool Iron and Steel
works.
In the 1870's this was the biggest
Bessemer steel production plant in the world and
employed over 5000 men.
The processes
involved in the iron and steel industry often
left the men covered in red dust.
