Interesting historical site RE: UK iron/steel work

In typical internet surfing style, I stumbled upon a site dedicated to the hand tool known as a bill hook.  The author, a collector in the UK, has put together a lot of information regarding that tool's evolution but also covers some interesting details regarding the history of cutting tool manufacturing in the UK.  Knowing I would likely never find my way back to that site (I forgot to leave a trail of breadcrumbs), I figured that maybe the site could be appreciated by some here.  So here it is.
