Weather Owston Ferry

The SmithyThe Old Smithy on the High Street of Owston Ferry is just as it would have been in 1958 when its owner left the building. Owned by the Laming family the building was left undisturbed until 1989 when the Owston Ferry Society decided to open it as a village museum and heritage centre. Visitors will find the forge, including the grime, just as it would have been, and unusually two forges, with an array of fascinating tools and equipment.
A pleasant courtyard displays hand-made agricultural machinery that would have been used locally and up the stairs an intriguing museum provides an insight into living and working in Owston Ferry, with many items from the villages past and an impressive collection of photographs. |
