Forging a chain by jenbo

Forging a chain

Brilliant day out at the Black Country Museum. Chain links being made from wrought iron and forge welded by hand. A glimpse of life at the turn of the century when a skilled blacksmith could earn £2 a week and children as young as 5 would be expected to work the bellows!
A nice action shot.
