Having just been able to visit the area for the first time in > many years, and pick up an information leaflet, you may like to know that > there is a smithy heritage centre and village museum at Owston Ferry, on the > west bank of the Trent. This has been restored by the Owston Ferry Society > and is open on Sundays, May to September, including Bank Holidays from > 2-5pm. Parties can visit at other times by appointment. Enquiries: Don > Clapham, Riverdale, Bagsby Road, Owston Ferry. Tel: 01427-728361. The > centre also offers couples the chance to have their 'wedding vows and > anniversaries welded at the Anvil with a Smithy Wedding Blessing...' > Incidentally the smithies a few miles north in the Marshlands, at Swinefleet > and Adlingfleet can still be seen, though the latter is now in a sorry state > of repair. The smithy on the main road from Eastoft to Goole, which seemed > to have been built in the same style as Adlingfleet, now seems to have > disappeared. > Charlotte Hursey > > > ==== BLACKSMITHING Mailing List ==== > List Mom for the BLACKSMITHING mailing list: > Diana Boothe > [email protected] > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
