Is the letter box still in use?

Actually, Coleen, it was about 1947, just after WWII ended. But it's great - all cobwebs and hand-made tools.

Can you imagine what is in? It was closed before World War II!

Definitely worth further inspection.

It looks sturdy and I'll bet the inside is very interesting. You and Jenny Faa ask the son and go in.

You should maybe ask John Thomson - son of the last blacksmith - to show you round the inside of the smiddy. It's exactly as it was left in the 1940s. Very atmospheric.
