  1. The Smith and the Forge

    Share Share Post
    There are two forges in this parish. One of them is near the school and the other one is near the mail road. The articles that are used there are a bellows, an anvil, a sledge, plenty iron and enough of smith's coal. They are thatched. The door is in two halves and it is hung from both sides. The fire place is built about three feet high on a block of stones and the fire is placed on top.
