Another lovely film with great stories. I have a great interest in the old forges and blacksmiths. My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all worked as blacksmiths. I worked with my father in the forge until he died.
Thanks Ivan, Herbie Martin was my grandfather and I have so many happy memories as a child helping him with the pigs in the Smiddie and even walking his sows along the road to the boar at Charlie Redmond's farm . Visiting Cissie Waycott's shop was always a great novelty and as kids we loved to hear the ding of the bell when you opened the door!!
Another great wee video. The picture of Andy Filson (my Granda) shoeing the horse has his eldest son Jim (my Dad) standing beside him. I’m guessing it would have been taken around 1935 about two years before Dad joined the RAF.

Thanks for another interesting insight into the lives of local people. Lovely to see the old pictures and buildings.

Yip ... remember the bell on the door and seeing the sow being keppt along the road to Charlie's. 👍

Have to get your dad's story ...when work allows !👍
Brilliant film , great stories and pictures 👍

Brilliant video 😊

this needs recording whilst folks are alive to tell it. So much of our history has been lost as the older generations die of (I'm one of them now🤣)
so am I...😃
