Seems to be very few forges/blacksmiths in Kent now. I learned a lot of blacksmith work at school - really enjoyed it.
Next one ...
East Kent - This view can be seen on GSV but could be a stinker to find - clues will follow if nobody gets it straight away.

The forge was still working at the end of the sixties. The blacksmith was often still at work when we were in the Maypole and he would come over for a couple afterwards. I can’t remember his name, but quite a young man.

You have it JohnWalker.
Was the working village forge in my youth . Now is a hall available for hire run by a village community group.
