This imposing structure in the centre of Great Corby is a former blacksmith's shop, built in 1833 for the Howard family of Corby Castle, in imitation of Vulcan's forge. It is a Grade II listed building - more information at http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1335516. It appears now to serve as the beer cellar for the Queen's Inn on the opposite side of the village green. (information supplied by Dave Dunford)
