1932 Blacksmith Blacksmiths Centuries Claims Cockney Crooks Forge Mitchell Real Smithy


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in September 1932, showcases the authentic Cockney blacksmith, Mr. Charles Mitchell, at work in his forge located in the quaint village of Pyecombe, Sussex. The village of Pyecombe is renowned for its long-standing history of blacksmithing, with the forge having produced famous crooks for centuries. Mr. Mitchell, a self-proclaimed Cockney, poses confidently before the anvil, his weathered face etched with the marks of time and experience. His muscular arms, covered in soot and grime, are poised to strike the red-hot iron. The forge, filled with the warmth of the fire and the rhythmic clanging of metal on metal, is a testament to the rich industrial heritage of the village. Despite the passage of time and the encroachment of modernity, the traditional methods of blacksmithing continue to thrive in Pyecombe. Mr. Mitchell's dedication to his craft, passed down through generations, ensures that the village's legacy as a center of excellence for blacksmithing remains intact. The photograph captures a moment in history, a glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the enduring importance of artisanal skills in a rapidly changing world. The blacksmith's forge, with its bellows puffing out plumes of smoke and the anvil glowing with the heat of the fire, is a symbol of the village's proud heritage and the resilience of its people. This photograph, a treasure from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, industry, or the simple beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
