Knutton: site of former pub
Image: © Jonathan Hutchins Taken: 6 Feb 2015
A large pub called The Forge Inn was situated on the waste ground behind these neat brick walls, erected soon after its demolition in 2009 http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/staffordshire/newcastleunderlyme_forgeinn.html. Knutton Forge was a huge complex of furnaces and mills, producing large quantities of iron in its heyday, which closed in 1929, leaving only the pub and local memories to perpetuate its name.
