  2. A Local Forge

    Share Share Post
    There are eight forges in the Parish. There are streams beside nearly all of them. Mr Tiernan owned the forge in Julianstown. It has no particular shape of the door. There is only one fireplace in the Julianstown forge. The forge in Julianstown is beside a crossroads and there is a river running alongside of it. There used to be two blacksmiths employed, Mr Tiernan that owned the forge and his son John Tiernan. All the local horses were shod in that forge.The forge is a slated one.
