The Smithy, Owston Ferry
A good example of a successful smithy developing into a small-scale agricultural engineering business.
Built in 1859 for G. Laming. The second storey at this end of the building was added around 1900, with a marked change in the brickwork. The painted sign is a renewal of the original. The building now houses the Village Museum and Heritage Centre, although it was closed for the winter when this view was taken. Listed Grade II partly for its historical interest.

The Old Smithy, Owston Ferry
See also Image; Image; Image
Successively owned by 5 generations of the Laming family, it closed in 1975 and was left undisturbed, a time capsule, until acquired by the Owston Ferry Society, and reopened as a Museum and Heritage Centre in 1992.
Its business was making hand-crafted agricultural implements (many used for drainage) and horse-shoeing, and the workshop has been preserved in its original condition. Included was a wheelwright's business.
There are albums of old photos of the area and a collection of items from the village's past. A truly fascinating place worth the £3 entry. I was given a guided tour by a gentleman with a life-time's experience of these businesses (this wonderful gentleman has, sadly, died since my visit. He will be missed).
It was open on this August Sunday afternoon, and is open from May to September 2pm - 5pm. For more information phone 01427 728325.
