STAFFORDSHIRE,

On WEDNESDAY, November instant, at Three
o'clock in the Afternoon, at the Swan Hotel, in Wolver-
hampton, in the county of Stafford,
THE celebrated BRADLEY IRON WORKS„ situate at
Bradley, in the township of Bilston, and county of Staf-
ford, consisting of COal and Iron Mines, Furnaces, Foundries,
Pottery, Forge, Rolling and Slitting Mill, House for the Resi-
dence of a Principal or Manager 20 Houses for Agents,
Clerks, and Workmen, Land, an erything requisite for an
extensive Iron Manufacturing E blishinent.
The Property is in the midst of that part of Staffordshire
where the Iron trade is concentrated, and carried on to the
great extent for which it has long been distinguished. These
well known Works wore established by the late John Wilkin-
son, Esq., Iron-master. They are now in effective and full
operation, partly by his family and partly by lessees; but
owing to some recent domestic changes they are now sub-
mitted to public competition. The Property is must eligibly
situated as to roads and canals, by which it is intersected nn
various directions. The present flourishing state of the Iron
Trade, with every prospect of its continuance, contributes to
enhance the value of this important Concern to any Pelson or
Company engaged or desirous of etnhatking in the Iron Trade,
in works of the first celebrity, and capable of being increased
to almost any extent.
Also, two ESTATES, in the Parishes of Wednesbury and
Darlaston, with valuable Mines under them.
The whole will be disposed of in the following or such other
Lots as may be agreed upon at the time of sale, and subject to
such conditions as will he then produced.
Lot I.—The COLLIERY, which is called " Hallfield's Col-
liery," and is situate at Bradley. There are numerous good
Shafts already sunk through most of the measures or strata of
Mines, which, as far as they have been explored, are •proved to
he of the best quality, especially the thiCk Coal, of which a
large portion (it is supposed at least one-third of the whole)
remains ungotten. The Gubbin Ironstone, and Heathen Coal,
are almost (if not entirely) untouched, and the New Mines are
all entire, with the exception of those lying under about twelve
acres, which are at present opened in some of the measures, and
are now in full work.

The IRON WORKS which consist of the Furnace,'called
"HaMelds Furnace," with a good Blast Engine, of sufficient
power for the Furnace, ordinary Casting House, a Double

with the Furnace, are all in full work. There is also a capa-
cious Foundry, with Stoves, Air-Furnace, Crane, and other
conveniences tor carrying on the Iron Foundry Business, which
has hitherto been done, to some considerable extent, and to a
good profit, by the present Proprietors.—Also two Furnaces,
called the "Bradley Furnaces," with a Blast Engine capable
of blowing two additional Furnaces, with two Refineries, and
a cupola Furnace, (which last' is erected.)—Also another
Foundry, with Air-Furnace, Stoves, Cranes, and other conve-
niences for a Foundry, in addition to two Casting Houses,
Bridge Houses, &c., &c.

tains a supply of the different descriptions of Clay used in the
Manufacture of Earthenware, for a longer Term than that of
the Lease of the Land upon which the Potteries stand.

into two) suitable for the Residence of a Principal, (being for-
merly so used by the late John Wilkinson, Esq.,) with the
Gardens, Outbuildings, and other Conveniences. One Hun-
dred and Twenty other Dwelling-houses, suitable for Agents

The Forge has a double Camnng, with two Hammers; and the

several Closes of Land, containing nearly fifteen acres of Land.

lieries have been proved to be of excellent quality, remain un-

able bed of Sand under each.
