This looks like the old smithy at the top of The Avenue. In the late 40's as a boy of 9 or 10 I used to love to stand at the door of the smithy and watch the blacksmith hot-shoeing the heavy horses, of which there were still many in use. The entrance was through the gate at the extreme right of the photo.
