The roof of the forge is slated and there is no door in the forge. There is but one fireplace in the forge. In his work the smith uses an anvil, a sledge, a hammer, a rasp, and an knife for pearing the hoofs. He uses coal in the fire. He shoes horses and asses. He makes ploughs and harrows. When he is shoeing wheels he does it in the open air. The smith is a very big strong man. There is a disused forge in the outskirts of Castle blakeney. It was owned by Thomas Qualter who is now dead.
