My Grandads Forge
My Granddad William Anderson bought the forge when he moved to Leiston from Surrey after the war with my Nan and three children, my mother Yvonne, aunty Ivy and uncle Billy, where he shod horses in and around Leiston, then he turned his hand to iron work, which enabled him to carry on working until sadly nan died around 1960 when I was about 10, about a year or so later, sadly my granddad passed away also. My uncle Billy sold the forge to Peggs of Aldeburgh who were iron mongers. My granddad made the sign himself which is still standing outside the shop to this day which is now a letting agent.
