- There is one forge in our district - John Mahony's. It is in their family for years. The forge is situated in Greenville. It is near a millstream. There is a slated roof on it. The door was never shaped it was always a plain door. There are two fireplaces in it and only one of them is used. There is a leather bellows in it. These are the names of the tools the smith uses: - An anvil, a hammer, a sledge, a pincers, a chisel, a punch, and a bior.
