Classic village workshops, the business being continuous from around the middle of the 19th century (c.1840). The forge building on the right is Listed Grade II. My comment on my 2009 view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1629235 that “The main business today is clearly in timber” is somewhat modified by this view!
