Can anyone help me and say what these are? I asked the council but they don't know. They are located on Crow Lane, next to the ringroad, behind the Casino on Spon Street. Are they remainders left behind of the old Rudge works?
Thanks a lot!

I don't think they're part of the former Rudge Works? My best guess is that a heavy goods vehicle demolished the wall between the lane and the pedestrian footpath at some time in the past and the girders were embedded there to prevent it from happening again. Also as far as I know the lane is now a private access road and nothing to do with the council any more.
According to this map the girders would be located on the opposite side of Crow Lane from any of the works buildings:

You will have to fiddle around with the zoom setting and thumbnail images a bit to find the right one.
