    There are seven forges in this parish. There is one at Bolton's Cross and another at the Six Crosses 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 uses a hammer, a peirers and an anvil. The smith shoes ponies and asses and horses. The smith makes bands of wheels and repairs ploughs and harrows.
