  2. Local Forges

    Share Share Post
    There are about five forges in this district. Danniel Lynch's forge is the nearest to us. He lives in the town land of Ballyboy. He shoes horses and donkeys. The forge is built of stone and roofed with boards and black felt. There is a door and window and a chimney. The floor is of cement. The anvil was bought in the shop. The piece of ground on which the forge is built is called "The Wesleyan" the reason it was called Wesleyan is because Protestants were taught in it years ago
