Swindon ironworks
This is Swindon in Staffordshire, not the other, much larger one in Wiltshire.
I have been browsing through Around Pattingham and Wombourne in old photographs and thought I’d note the following information about the ironworks. Hopefully, this will help me unpick the movements of the Williams family between Swindon, Wolverhampton and Wilden.
