The Forge has a long and illustrious history spanning over 800 years. From the mid 1200s to the present day, the forge, and the site that it occupies has been known for quality metalwork and providing the people and factories of the West Midlands with tools to survive and thrive over centuries.

Although the forge no longer turns in anger, it turns for the historical importance and enrichment of the area, and now welcomes visitors who wish to take a step back in time and experience a flavour of the industrial heritage that made the West Midlands and Black Country famous the world over.
