Dist:0.4km<br/>Standing alongside Barrow House [[656038]] and clearly built at the same time, this building was surely originally something to do with horses, though looks too small to be a coach house. Any ideas anyone? Incidentally, the noticeboard on the building is a bus timetable - the local buses stop here! I am grateful to site visitor John Crunden who has been in touch with the following information - "This building was the local blacksmith's forge. Horses were taken in at the large door for shoeing, and the circle on the ground in front of the window was where cartwheels were repaired and new ones built. When the wooden wheels were finished a large iron ring was heated up on the forge, just inside the small door, and then hammered onto the rim".
