    There are several forges in my native district. The one I am about t o describe is Sheedy's forge.
    This forge is situated in Bank Place at the back of Mr. Kennedy's house. It is an old shed which Mr. Kennedy gave him.
    This little shed in which he works is made of galvanize. There is a big window in it to let the smoke out, but there is no glass in it.
