SOLD: Once-famous former iron forge in Sheffield generates huge interest
Mousehole Forge in the Rivelin Valley was famed for producing anvils during the 18th and 19th century but closed and fell into ruin before being bought by a family in the 1980s and transformed into their dream home.

Linda Crapper, managing director of Saxton Mee, which marketed the home, said it had been viewed by around 100 potential buyers and seven or eight offers were made before it was sold at the higher end of the guide price.
"The huge interest in this hidden gem shows the demand for really unique, quirky properties in Sheffield," she said.
