New York Forge
New York Forge (aka Murton Forge) at 144 Brookland Terrace in New York, North Shields, operated up to 2016. Lewis Dunn was the first recorded blacksmith here, in 1834; he was also the innkeeper at the adjoining Traveller's Rest Inn (long ago demolished).[1] The last blacksmith, Graeme Moran, was given notice by the land owner, to leave by November 2016 - thought to be linked to housing development in the 'Murton Gap'. The Moran family had run the forge for 3 generations.[2]
