The Smithy
Whitchurch Road Bangor-on-Dee. |

The Smithy on Whitchurch Road was run by the
Spoor Family. It is difficult in these days to understand
just how important the village blacksmith was prior to the throw-away
society. Until the advent of motor transport most of each
working day would be occupied in keeping the local horses shod.
Most blacksmiths would also make and repair tools and plough
sheers for the local farmers. The premises are now occupied
by the village hairdresser and are still recognisable. |
