    Iron Ore was mined and smelted in Kent from Roman times right through the Middle Ages, many of our ancient coppiced woodlands came about as a result of demand for charcoal that was used to smelt local Iron Ore. Dover District has a long and distinguished history of industrial innovation and factories manufacturing goods of many kinds. If one wanders around the side streets of Valparaiso (I'm sure elsewhere as well, but Valparaiso in Chile springs to mind as it is the furthest afield that I came across items of Dover manufacture in my many travels) it is still possible to see manhole covers and drain grills manufactured at the Dover Engineering Works.
