Forge Cottage

David Bage tells us, when discussing the old Post Office: "Out of interest, the blacksmith's sister also had a shop in the blacksmith's house (now Forge House) in the early part of the century.  The Forge (now part of Forge Cottage) itself ceased to function c.1921 although intermittently a shop continues in Forge House, until the fifties."

Two images show Forge Cottage in its run of charming buildings - notice the loss of one door.  The tinted picture shows the horse and cart waiting by the working forge.
