Former Blacksmiths Shop

The Former Blacksmith's Shop is a blacksmith's workshop that features a partly faced rubble stone exterior and a heavily deteriorated roof made of grouted slates that overhangs at the eaves. Attached to the left is a former house that was later converted into a cow-house, which is rendered and has a lower-pitched corrugated iron roof. To the right is a small original cow-house made of rubble stone, also with a deteriorated roof of grouted slate. The workshop has a window in the center, which is only partly glazed, and a door to the right. The original cow-house has a lower roof and its front wall is set back, featuring a single door to the left at an angle to the workshop. The end wall facing the road is made of rubble stone.

At the rear of the workshop, the earth construction is exposed where the brick forge chimney rises, and there is a tin lean-to on the left beside a small opening for coal delivery for the forge. The former house has a door flanked by mid-20th century metal hopper windows and features a 20th-century lean-to on the left side of the front wall. There is another door located on the gable end.

The interior was not accessible during the resurvey, but it appears to retain the forge, which is positioned off-center at an angle and includes an integral stone water trough. The chimney is made of rubble at the base and brick at the top, possibly indicating a remodelled forge from a previous building. In 1989, an anvil, drilling machine, and bellows were noted to be in situ. Horses were shod opposite the doorway, and the lower part of the right end wall has been faced in rubble stone. The roof features thin pegged trusses. The original cow-house has exposed earth construction on the left end wall, which is whitewashed and shows layers of straw laid on the earth walling after each day's building, along with stalls for three cows.
