Blacksmith's Bench and Anvil

Blacksmith's Furnace

Hot Fire Was Used To Forge Iron Tools For The Miners

The Blacksmith was perhaps the most indispensable worker in the mine.
It was in a shop like this that the tools and drills were forged
that made breaking though solid rock possible.

This re-creation shows how a blacksmith shop would have appeared in 1890.
