  2. Remarks about the Local Forge

    Share Share Post
    The smith shoes cross horses and bends cart hoopings outside the forge door. He shoes cart wheels at a stream about a hundred yards above the forge. This stream is called the Forge-Hole.

The local smiths have always been regarded as being strong men.
