Description
Historic Ordnance Survey Map evidence shows the location of a Smithy at the east end of Boldon.
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).

Description
The Cleadon (East Boldon) Brick and Tile Works was the first of a series of brick works to open in the Cleadon area. Brick works established by 1820 and noted on Greenwoods plan of 1820. The sites already covered an extensive area by the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey plan, 1855. In 1844 the works were run by Robert Anderson. The Cleadon Brick and Tile Works was the only brickworks in operation in the immediate area in 1855. The 1855 plan shows a kiln at the southern end of the site, possibly a pug mill and rectangular lagoon to the north, with a drying area in between. Surrounding the complex were three large clay pits. By the end of the 19th century there were four brickworks in the Cleadon area.
