gone but not forgotten
While we have an enthusiastic interest in anything to do with mills, we don't seem to pay much attention to the natural element of fire, which our city once led the world in using to make things.
Early maps usually showed forges and foundries as they did mills. And of course they also showed the smithies and the inns, as both were important to the traveller, if on horseback, as was quite usual. They must have been just as important as the mills, but they don't get much attention.
Let's have more about the F-words, I say.
