MOIRA FURNACE MUSEUM AND COUNTRY PARK
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Moira Furnace, built in 1804, is a unique survivor from Leicestershire's industrial past. The building's quirky story has left it almost unaltered from the day it stopped production, making it one of the most significant iron making heritage sites in Europe.
The building was adapted to house mining families who lived there for almost 200 years from the early 19th century right through to the 1970s. With its canal, lime kilns, mines and woodland, Moira Furnace has seen the Industrial Revolution come and go.
