Travel back in time as you stroll through an authentic blacksmith’s workshop and take in the sounds and smells of a world that was rapidly moving away from the four legged horse and towards the new and exciting age of motoring.

Blacksmiths go way back – one of the most famous names in the field, Alldays & Onions, features on the bellows and brazier in our workshop. The firm of Onions can be dated back to 1625 and Alldays and Co can be traced back to around 1780 – both firms manufactured tools of the blacksmith’s trade, such as anvils, vices, bellows and other items.
