I assume, as custodians of such a historic building, the forge chimney was carefully documented before it was taken down, so the rebuild will be accurate?
Yes, we have dimensions, photographs and the bricks. The forge itself has not been demolished, although a bulging wall will need to be re-erected. We had little time to act since noticing movement in the structure, to the point where I witnessed mortar tumbling down the outside of the chimney on Tuesday, even though nothing was happening thereabouts.
