“Old Forge House”

At the top of Forge Lane was Church Square. The back of Forge Lane slipped away: once it was quite flat a flat meadow with clay soil. Tobogganing took place there in the winter. Gardens are still slipping on the houses at the back of Forge Lane. A row of trees were planted to prevent further slippage.

There was a little forge attached to the “Old Forge House” The “Old Forge House” was a brick structure. Mr Plewis supplied the artificial frontage at Mr. Lacey’s request. There had been no half timber there.
