Chainmakers' Forge: Tommy
Description
General view of the forge at Noah Bloomer & Sons chainmakers, Cradley Heath, Sandwell (West Midlands), showing chainmaker using the Tommy (forge hammer). The forge hammers were usually constructed by the chainmakers themselves, and operated by a treadle and spring. A chain hangs off a hook on the forge: as fresh links are added it will be gradually pushed over the hook and onto the ground. Mounted on Photo File card with LAVC/PHO/P1401. With ms. note. Originally held in Photo File: Chainmaking
