The old forge and adjoining buildings, empty and awaiting sale on 21 July 1968. Although outwardly somewhat changed they were as old as the other buildings in the Row, built early in the 1830’s by John Marshall. Almost certainly they were used by shoeing smiths from the start, and they are shown as such in Leppard’s Directory for 1845 when the smith was Clarke Packham. The last of the smiths was Arthur Dawkins whose family occupied the premises for more than 70 years.
