  1. There are eight forges in this parish. There is one at Bolton's Cross and another at the Six Crosses and another in Greenville beside a stream. All the rest are in the town. Most of the forges are roofed with corrugated iron. There is only one fireplace in a forge. The smith's implements are a hammer, a pincers and an anvil. The smith shoes ponies, asses and horses. The smith makes bands of wheels and repairs ploughs and harrows.
