Local forge with no roof Many visits to this building over the years, and I never knew there was a blacksmith's forge inside. Mind, everything in the building was black including the windows! The steel walls were removed a couple of years ago. Vice on its bench is outside on the left, rusting, used to be an agricultural dealer working here, and living opposite in the Cross Inn (Farm) which was a pub many years ago.
