Historical information

The timber slab and iron shed with its mud brick forge was possibly built around 1860 after William Syred came to be at Bejoording.
William practised the trade of blacksmith as a side-line to his small farming activities.
The roof on the shed blew off in around 2005, and by 2021 much of the building had collapsed. By this time the mud brick forge located inside had also mostly disintegrated.
