Forsmarks Bruk

This morning we're visiting the historic ironworks of Forsmarks Bruk

One of the old forges where they made and repaired tools used in the ironworks
 
The well preserved rows of whitewashed houses and a manor house were built in 1767-74

 

 Remains of one of the ironworks buildings - all of the machinery was water powered by a complex system of belts and pulleys
 
Emma didn't fancy a swim  today...
