In the late 18th and early 19th-century, several generations of the Fussell family ran the first ironworks in the Mells area of Somerset.​

The business was bankrupt by 1894 and it was taken over by Isaac Nash​

Isaac Nash moved the operations to Worcestershire and left Mells iron works to stand it's own test in time . The photo below is what you can see when approaching the works to this date but development now prevents you from entering .​
