The history of the proletariat in England begins with the second half of the last century, with the invention of the steam-engine and of machinery for working cotton. These inventions gave rise, as is well known, to an industrial revolution, a revolution which altered the whole civil society.
-Friedrich Engels
From the smallest rail spike to the largest steam engine the Victorian blacksmith forged it all. Powering the engine of industry with fire and steel. In the Victorian forge you will journey back to the golden age of steam to feel the warmth of our traditional coal forge, the glow of the ironwork and experience life in the industrial revolution.
