Historical Highlights LYNDHURST 1794-1978 «From: “Furnace Falls Mills,U.C. A centennial project,by Anna E.Harvey' courtesy Mrs. Putman The original name of the village of Lyndhurst was Furnace Falls,so named because in 1800 a furnace for manu- facturing iron utensils was built below the falls where the river is now spanned by the old stone bridge. Wallis Sunderlin,an iron master of Tinmouth,Vermont,came to the area in the spring of 1800.He planned to estab- lish an iron works with Abel Stevens and Ruel Keith. ‘ Once permission was obtained from the Executive Council (the government of the time),the works went forward with aston- ishing speed.Sunderlin had with him a founder and potash kettle moulder,a mason,five carpenters,a flask maker,a blacksmith and two labourers.He also brought from Connecticut two associates James Scovill and Samuel Barlow. The iron ore was mined near Delta and fashioned into iron utensils for farm work.Pots,kettles and irons for home use were also manufactured. The works operated until 1811 when the buildings were destroyed by fire. Before negotiations could be comâ€" pleted for rebuilding the iron works to manufacture war material,the War of 1812 had come to an end.Thus,the iron works were never reconstructed. The settlement was later named Lyndhurst after John Singleton Copley, Baron Lyndhurst,a famous British law- yer and statesman. In 1935 a bronze tablet was erected as a monument to the Iron Works,"the first successful effort to develop the manufacture of iron from local ore in Upper Canada." Earl Im lements Pioneers in the area had only crude farm implements at their disposal.Some of these are illustrated below.The grain cradle was used for cutting grain.It consists of a scythe with an attached frame designed to lay the grain evenly.
