Description
A timber building yard lay on the coast to the east of South Dock (HER ref. 2874) and launched vessels into the South Entrance. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows five small structures, including a smithy, within the yard. For a period in the 1860s the yard was owned and worked by a John Haswell. In the 1870s, the area of the yard would seem to have been divided between Bartram’s and Sunderland Shipbuilding Co. Ltd.

Historic Ordnance Survey map evidence shows a Smithy at this location.
SITEASS
The smithy or forge was the workplace of a blacksmith or ironsmith, where iron was worked into useful objects such as weapons, armour in the Middle Ages and locks, hinges, spades and tools, iron horseshoes (machine-made horseshoes were introduced from USA in 1870s), grilles, gates, railings, metal parts for locomotives, coaches, waggons and carts. The blacksmith's raw material was wrought iron in bar form. The smithy comprised a hearth, bellows, anvil and bosh (quenching trough). A small forge had hand-operated bellows, a large industrial forge water-powered bellows, power hammer and shears (William Jones, 1996, Dictionary of Industrial Archaeology).
