  1. The Local Forge

    Share Share Post
    There is only one forge in this part of the parish. It is owned by Hugh McCoey. We don't know whither his people were smiths for long, as he is a new comer to the parish.
    The forge is situated in a very convient place, in the center of the parish, and at a very important cross roads.
    On the forge there is a felt roof. It is built of stone, with a wide open door on it. It contains an anvil, hammers, pensers, iorn, and many other ins-truments which is necessary in the forge.
