- Description
- This black and white photo shows one of the first blacksmith shops in Iron Bridge. It is a two story building built on a small rise beside what could be now Highway 17 west.
- Notes
- There were several blacksmith shops in Iron Bridge from the early 1900's with the first one being built by James Forrest. Later Mr. Earnest Lizotte built another around 1915. Yet another early blacksmith was Edward Johnson whose shop was taken over by Andy LaRone and later John Lees.
This blacksmith shop was possibly owned by Robert Allen who had shops from Wellington County in 1850s to Gladstone Twp in 1880s.
This photo can be found in the Tweedsmuir History created by the Iron Bridge Women's Institute.
