The Community Historian at Ironworks, Helen Weinstein, will start her walking tour outside the door of the Victorian Mill Road Library on Headly Street CB1 2GH.  On the History tour, Helen tells the story of how the Eagle Iron Foundry transformed the landscape alongside the Mill Road Bridge in Victorian times with the Headly Coprolite  Mill located at the Hooper Street side of the site, whereby the Headly family business and their foundry workers and coprolite diggers and millworkers all located in the new neighbourhood by the railway line dominated the neighbourhood known to local residents as ‘Sturton Town’.
