Workshop of William O'Brien, artist blacksmith http://www.williamobrienartistblacksmith.epageuk.com/ The machine in front of the forge is an electric powered hammer operated by the foot lever below the anvil. I was told there had been a blacksmiths here for many years (William moved his business here in 2000) but I think this stone building was originally a canal-side warehouse. It is the left-hand building in this photo http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1482005 taken from the other side of the canal.
