Belbroughton Scythe Works

This is another mill or forge that would have disappeared without the intervention of David H Jones and a  his colleagues. They made a video of the last owner Isaac Nash working the hammer producing a scythe blade in 1955. David also took the opportunity to measure and record the machinery which has allowed me to produce these drawings. There were a couple of the dimensions of the forge building  a I couldn't interpret hence the drawing is a little vague regarding the structure. The forge closed in 1968
