Dist:0.3km<br/>This building used to be a forge of a blacksmith in the 19th century. It is now a cottage. In the past almost every village and town would have had a blacksmith for the production of iron-based items. These sites are not like a foundry or blast furnace involved in the actual production of the metal. Rather these village smiths would have made or repaired smaller items. This is a Grade II Listed Building protected by law. http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N21172
