Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: The Holden Smithy, Saddleworth - What is it?
« on: Thursday 27 December 18 11:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi
We have recently purchased 21 Spurn Lane, Diggle - and this was the old barn for Holden Smithy. We are trying to find out more about the smithy - which was a large collection of proerties - and these were at one time used as weavers houses. The barn was converted in the 1960s and prior to that was a textiles storage place - before that we no nothing! If anyone does have info about the smithy that links to the barn - which formed the entrance to the smithy where the horses came through - we would be delighted to hear from you! Thanks Jo
