NZ0966 : The Old Smithy, Horsley
taken 12 years ago, near to Horsley, Northumberland, England
The Old Smithy, Horsley
The north side of the main street to the west of the old cross roads starts with a peculiarity. The cottage, marked as a smithy on the 1895 Ordnance Survey, has the look of an C18th building with its triangular-shaped stone gable copings, but does not appear on the 1865 map. The small spring issuing through into the boundary wall is a rare historic street detail.
