Nice to see some pics of the Black Country chainmakers. What yiu really want though is to see the chains the women were making in the outhouses attached to the backs of houses. Baby's were hung of the power hammers to rock them to sleep. I'm from a line of chainmakers from my great grandad back to 1800.

English I believe, but not positive. There was a guy on FB who posted a few pics of this company in operation, this pic had the double sledge.
I'll post the other pics he had in the Anvil section as they show the chain-makers anvil in use.
