Nether Bank ??

Edit:

Possible ?. - around Wortley Top Forge, but if it is, then the distances above are a long way out.

This is from from Wikipedia.

The two forges (Wortley Top Forge & Wortley Low Forge) were always leased together with a blast furnace, Nether Bank Furnace until the latter's closure probably about 1780, all of them being rented from the Wortley family.
