Burcot Forge was built in 1904 as a general blacksmiths shop. James Floyd and his two sons, Frank and Hubert, owned the Forge until 1955. Most of the trade was provided by horse shoeing, but they also turned out intricate pieces of iron work by hand on an anvil. This came from years of practical experience coupled with artistic design knowledge. Customers used to bring drawings, designs and wrought iron work examples for matching, alteration or to be copied.
