More about this scene

The Old Forge dates from c1500; note the blocked mullion window on the side, the double-jettied front and the octagonal 16th-century chimney stacks. In the early 19th century this was the forge and home of Thomas Tampin, the blacksmith. The Village Hall is set back on the left beyond the forge. The River Brett runs parallel to the road over to the right.

I remember the 1980's & early 1990's when Tony & Lorna Marsh the Peacock Inn's owners had jazz bands playing in the back bar on Friday evenings . I snapped some photos of Stan Tracey sitting on telephone directories to gain the best height to play an old upright piano. It was party night every Friday and the audience came from quite a distance to enjoy the evening.
