Parkend Iron Works in the village of Parkend, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, was a coke-fired furnace built in 1799. Most of the works were demolished between 1890 and 1908 but the engine house survived. It became England's first Forester Training School in 1910. During the Second World War it was used by the American army as a barracks. In 1971 it was sold to Avon County Council and became the Dean Field Studies Centre. In 1984 it was afforded Grade II Listed Building protection and is arguably the best preserved example of its kind to be found in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia.
