Wylam Forge

Wylam Forge is a former forge that was part of the workshops at Wylam Colliery, now serving as part of a garage. It dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century and is constructed of random rubble with a pantile and asbestos roof. The building is single storey and consists of two rooms. The left room features a window with an old brick sill and no frame, while the right room has a central double door and large flanking shuttered windows, also with old brick sills. There is a blacksmith's window on the left return and a Yorkshire sash window at the rear. The roof is gabled.

This building holds historical significance as the last remaining part of the site where William Hedley constructed Puffing Billy and Wylam Dilly. In 1811, Timothy Hackworth, John Foster, and William Hedley built the first Wylam engine, which was the first properly useful steam locomotive, followed by the preserved Puffing Billy and Wylam Dilly in 1814-15.
