An unprofitable copper mill at the site was closed down and reconstructed into a large iron works in 1872. The new iron works grew in scale and became big industry. During the 1920s, the first products of stainless steel were produced at the site. The whole area today is of national interest and targeted for conservation. The old industrial buildings are regarded as unique as the line of production, from iron ore to steel, containing smelting and blast furnaces together with the furnaces of the open-hearth process, is preserved in full.

Engelsberg Ironworks, situated in the mining area of Norberg in central Sweden, is an outstanding example of an influential European industrial complex of the 17th to 19th centuries. It is the best preserved and most complete example of a Swedish iron-working estate (järnbruk) of the type which produced superior grades of iron. The present blast furnace, built in 1778-1779 along with an ore crusher and a large charcoal store, incorporated a number of then-contemporary technological innovations. It closed in 1919.

Backbarrow is a village in the Lake District National Park in England. It lies on the River Leven about 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Ulverston in Furness in the county of Cumbria. The village probably grew during the 16th century, due to the corn mills that were built along the river. Earlier mills at the site had been owned by Furness Abbey, which by this time had been dissolved. Its development increased due to the iron furnace that was built in Backbarrow in 1711. The furnace has been described as the first efficient blast furnace
