| Notes / History | During the nineteenth century the reliance on horse transport meant that many local poeple were employed in associated trades. There were a number of smithies in the Mitcham area, shoeing horses, fashioning metal tools, making and repairing cartwheels. The timbered building shown here was situated on London Road, Upper Mitcham. |
