About The Forge
The National Inventory rates The Forge Regional, one of 60 in Adare. Its record dates The Forge to 1810–1830. 47 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The gable-fronted façade of this building provides an interesting contrast to the streetscape and is indicative of its former use as a forge. Its stone façade is enlivened by modest decorative elements such as the ball finial and the door surround.

Questions about The Forge
Is The Forge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 21824029).
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 1810–1830.
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.
