- There are three forges in this town. The most important one is Patrick Gibney's. His forge is situated in Suffolk St. Patrick's father was a blacksmith before him. The most important articles he makes are gates, horse shoes, railings and many other iron implements. The door of the forge is not shaped like a horse shoe, it is a just a plain door. He has'nt to do as much work as he used to do on account of the new machinery. Kit Mc Cabe's father was the only man who made a plough during his time in Kells. The trade was'nt kept on by his son except for a short time. He made mowing machines
