William Hawkes Blacksmiths 183/4 High Street Deritend

[Strawberry Hunter]

Just stumbled across this place.

Seems to be still be in operation on Gov companies house.

Looked on street view, but it's just a lot of road works.

Anyone know if its still there, I'd like to approach them and see if they have any history noted that may mention other blacksmiths.

I did pop in a couple of years ago and he was still trading. Quite an helpful guy
