Abstract:		 Building record and archaeological monitoring prior to the conversion of an early 19th century forge. The forge was built in the early 19th century and was run by the Hasler family for much of its lifetime. It was built as a small single storeyed structure of brick and red tile (possibly catslide) roof and had a cart door at the front. There was probably a blacksmith's cottage at the back, which has since been demolished. In the early 20th century an outbuilding was constructed against the front for offices/stores and the two gable ends were rebuilt, perhaps after a fire?. Soon after in 1928 the building was heightened, presumably to enable cart access at the back. The forge closed in c. 2004 at which point the interiors were stripped-out apart from the forge itself, which has a rebuilt flue and modern fixtures for an electric blower. Archaeological monitoring in the area of an extension at the back of the forge showed undisturbed ground and no finds or archaeological deposits.
