Les in Chorlton BS: 50 Greatest Inventions Since the Wheel (96* d) RE: BS: 50 Greatest Inventions Since the Wheel 23 Nov 13


I might be wrong but I don't think anybody has mentioned iron and steel from the blast furnace.

I know we have had iron from the hittites a long time ago - but until the blast furnace and coal/coke nearly all iron was made on a small scale using charcoal and beaten into shape by the blacksmith.

The blast furnace led to loads of iron, melting, casting, forging and the Industrial Revolution
