This free download publication has just been brought to my attention, and whilst not immediately for the absolute beginner, it provides an invaluable range of useful information for anyone remotely interested in or involved in the industry, and an insight into the ironwork history in Ireland.

Sorry John ,

 

But your link returns a 404 error code.

Try This. I tested it in Post Preview, and it worked.  Long String Links are touchy and brittle some times.

Alternatively, this may be sturdier, and it's a short hop to the PDF from here.

I just went upstream on the URL and cut it off after the BuiltHeritagePolicyPublications and clicked on the link to it from that page. 

 

My usual process for dealing with dodgy URLs

Mr. John B: a great pleasure to read, I hope to get back to it soon and take in every word. Thank you.

 

Mr. Powers, I chopped the second link in my above post at the same spot as you did - a tantalizing Reading List worth looking at.
