Blacksmith'S Shop, Adjoining East Of Anvil House

The blacksmith's shop, located east of Anvil House on Fore Street in St Erth, is a Grade II listed building. It is constructed from killas and granite rubble, featuring granite lintels above the shop openings and roughly-hewn granite monoliths that support the open front of the adjoining cartshed. The building has slurried-scantle slate roofs with gable ends and includes a louvred ventilator positioned over the middle of the shop. A tall brick chimney rises from the right-hand gable, which is the party wall with the cartshed. The layout consists of a rectangular smithy on the left, with a forge at the right-hand end, and an open-fronted cartshed that is slightly angled to the right. The exterior is single storey, with the shop displaying a two-window front and a doorway on the left, featuring old ledged doors. The far left window is shuttered, while the right side has an 8-pane window. The cartshed has a three-bay open front, supported by a wallplate on the end walls and two intermediate posts. The interior has not been inspected.
