- Mr. Furlong as I have elsewhere mentioned is our local blacksmith. His father born and reared in the same house was also a blacksmith. And so was his grandfather a blacksmith but he had his forge a mile further north. The grandfather was a famous maker of pikes during 'the Rebellion' and was ultimately hanged on the bridge of Wexford.When a young horse was sent to be shod for the first time it was quite usual to send the Smith a half-pint of whiskey.
