Hello, I can see that this is a very old thread. I have been doing a little bit of digging, as we own number 8 Water Street. I have come across some images and video footage that shows that the blacksmith's was actually located between 7-9 Water Street. You can see where the entrance to the forge was as the pavement has been dropped! It is still like that to this day. The image I have is from when Mr Huffey was the Blacksmith 'Huffey & Sons'.

By Easter this will be a self catering holiday cottage, as number 8 formed part of the forge, staying true to it's heritage, it will be aptly named. I've attached an image!

Regards,

Katie
