Description

The Blacksmith's Shop is an 18th-century cottage located in Wrockwardine. It features white painted brick and a tiled roof with gabled ends. The central part of the building is two storeys high with two windows; the first floor has two small casement windows, while the ground floor has wood mullion and transom windows along with a central modern glazed door. There are brick stacks at both ends. To the left, there is a one-bay addition with a lower roofline, and to the right, a one-storey and attic addition that includes a gabled dormer and a modern casement window. Adjoining the left side is the blacksmith's workshop, which is a single storey with double doors and a stack in the gable end.
