    name is Mr Holcroft. His father and grandfather were smiths in that forge before him. He uses an anvil a sledge and a bellows. The bellows is a very big one. This blacksmith fixes harrows, ploughs, he shoes horses and mends gates. The roof is made of galvanise covered with tar and the sides are made of cement and stone. The white river runs beside it and it is of great use to the smith. Mr Holcroft gets alot of business to do.
