Newbridge blast furnace is a scheduled ancient monument located in Sussex, England, representing an important example of early industrial ironworking infrastructure. The furnace dates to the 18th century, a period of significant expansion in the Wealden iron industry that exploited the region's abundant iron ore and woodland resources. The structure demonstrates the technological and architectural approaches employed in blast furnace construction during this era, when such facilities were central to England's growing metal production capacity. The monument survives as physical evidence of the Weald's role as a major ironworking centre before the industry's eventual decline and relocation to coalfield areas during the Industrial Revolution.
