  1. The Local Forges

    Share Share Post
    There are three forges in this district. There is a cross roads near them. The smiths shoe horses and donkeys. The roofs are slated. There is one fire place in each forge. There is a part of the forge work done in the open air, sometimes the horses are shod in the open air. Wheels are shod always in the open air.
