Derwentcote Steel Furnace

Derwentcote Steel Furnace stands at Rowlands Gill in County Durham, in the north-east of the county not far from Newcastle upon Tyne, across the Tyne in Northumberland.

The furnace was built in 1720 and is an example of an early cementation furnace, which produced high grade steel.

The Derwentcote Steel Furnace was restored in 1990 by English Heritage, in whose care it remains.
