Questions about The Forge
Is The Forge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 11201028).
Can you visit The Forge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was The Forge built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1820–1840.
Is The Forge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
