270 Year Old Forge Brought Back To Life In Mountshannon

On Friday's Morning Focus, Pat Flynn presented a piece from Clare FM's Alan Morrissey. Alan was joined by blacksmith, Reece Saul Forge. Reece set up a new blacksmithing business called Saul Forged in a forge building in Mountshannon that has been in possession of the Lyons family for around 260 years. The history of Tom Lyons in Mountshannon is one remembered very fondly by those living in the area. Reece discussed his own passion for heritage craft and demonstrated how he carries out his work. He also highlighted the plans and goals he hopes to achieve in the future.
