The Forge, Tumblefield Lane, Stansted. The printed 1/2d on stamp area on back dates this to between 1894-1918, another source narrows it down to between 1900s/10s
. Dick Hogbin of Fairseat and Stansted Historical society kindly provided me with an aerial shot to show where this building was (north of the Footpath). I suppose once tractors arrived, the forge got less and less work and eventually gave up business.
