Bristol Iron Works
On the river a short distance south is the site of the Bristol Iron Works, which were projected by John King and Company, of Bristol, England, and established in 1721 by John Tayloe, John Lomax and associates. The works, which were on the Foxall’s mill property owned in 1670 by Major Underwood, were in operation in 1729 and later.
Marker is at the intersection of Kings Highway (Virginia Route 3) and Claymont Road (County Route 634), on the right when traveling east on Kings Highway.
