- There is only one forge in our district. The man that owns it is a man named Joe Kilronan. His father was also a smith.
He mends gates, harrows, ploughs, pots, and a lot of other things. He also shoes horses and asses.
The shape of the door that is on the forge is like an O. The colour of the door is red.
He does work outside such as the shoeing of wheels of carts and traps.- Collector
