Walker Foundry — Rotherham

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. 32-pounder on a truck carriage, gun deck. Not a foundry portrait.

Overview

The foundry is already on 32-Pounder Naval Cannon. That gun was cast at foundries including Carron Company — Falkirk Foundry in Scotland and Walker Foundry in Rotherham.¹

The Foundry Credit

This note covers that foundry credit only. Founding year, partners, and a workforce stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. The 68-pounder carronade note is not written here.

Casting poured molten iron into a vertical mould, then bored the barrel on a horse-powered boring mill. Wilkinson John — Iron Founder is the 1770s boring credit on the same 32-pounder note.²
