illow a team of horses to be driven in to be shod. In one corner of the room was the fireplace, built of stone, and in the early days, a large accordion-like iellows to fan the fire. This was operated by a long pole in reach of the thy's left hand, so his right hand could be free to handle the tongs. This Hows was later replaced by a modern machine, which, when cranked ive a steady draft. In front of the smith was a huge anvil with a round Ipinted end used in shaping horseshoes or whatever other piece of iron or Seel he happened to be working with. Immediately in front of the fireplace ras a tub of water into which the hot iron was plunged, either slowly or pickly, according to the temper desired in the metal. A blacksmith fixed everything. If you needed a barrel hooped, a shoe aulked, a horse shod, a wheel tired, a tin bucket soldered, a sleigh runner {paired, a broken mower knife welded, a driving wagon painted, an axe iarpened or a bolt threaded, all and everything went to the blacksmith, and ~rou had nothing to take, you went anyway to swap gossip with the leighbours.

A ramp at iend of the building, leading up to the double doors gave access to wagons sleighs as the demand required. The building was right on the corner and when, in keeping with progress, : was widened, the shop protruded on the road, so the (offending part was simply sliced off, and the end boarded up again. After Stewart Burn 's death in 1964, the property was sold to Ralph [laugh, who tore down the old shop and landscaped the grounds. Garth Drummond is now the owner of this property.
