The Blacksmiths Shop
Prison gangs worked out here until the 1960's. Some prisoners worked in the old stone blacksmith's shop. This shop goes back around 150 years or so.
Billies, firebuckets, wheelbarrows, gates and much more were made by the prisoners until more trades and eduction were offered inside the institutions' walls. These historic stone buildings were falling down until they were rescued and restored by the Salisbury Council.
I nearly killed myself getting this shot!
I had to climb down a steep embankment and fight my way through overgrown trees and bushes to the bank of the creek. I perched myself on the edge of the bank, with a 6 foot drop in front of me, praying that I didnt lose my tripod and camera over the edge!
