Message: Emoticon Listing HTML Help	[quote]Many thanks for the info on both the Colliery location and the Forge on Church St. If only I had realised when I visited in 2000 that the Forge was still there but hidden behind the shops I might have been able to see something. I was there a few months ago but as you say its all Executive Homes now, but I did go inside The Woodside Club which was the original family home of the Shorthose Family. The new owners were very happy to show me round and to know more about the previous occupants of their house. They wondered whether it had ever been a family home so I was at least able to give them some information plus several copies of photographs of the house and some of its occupants dating from the 1800s.
