  1. Local Forges

    There is one Forge quite near us. The name of the Blacksmith is Charlie Wise. He is always working hard. He shoes horses, mends ploughs and harrows and all kinds of iron implements.
    It was open several years ago and then it closed down for a time and it opened up again. It is now about ten years open.
    A man named Ned Rourke owned the forge before Charlie Wise.
