The forge in the background is a testament to the hard work and dedication required to maintain the livestock and transport of the era. The vintage setting of the photograph transports us back to a time when life was simpler, and the rhythm of the community was dictated by the daily routines of its inhabitants. The blacksmith played a pivotal role in ensuring the horses and carts were in good working order, enabling the villagers to carry out their daily chores and trades. The Old Smithy, with its red brick walls and large chimney, stands as a symbol of the industrious spirit of the people of Kimberworth. The photograph offers a unique insight into the lives of the blacksmiths and farriers who labored to keep the community moving. This evocative image is a treasure trove of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
