What is recorded here
Recreated blacksmith's forge in Cyfarthfa Castle Museum is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps the recreated forge captures the heat and noise lost when the real one went quiet. Maybe a visitor stands before it and hears the ghost of a hammer striking steel. Imagine the smith working through the dark, shaping tools for the living castle.
