Gretton Past and Present

Billy Smith's Cottage

 

Billy Smith's cottage in the High Street

Blacksmith Billy Smith is shown above with his mother and two younger brothers. The young women are not his sisters and may be his brothers' wives. The photograph was probably taken in the 1880s.

The actual smithy was to the left of the cottage, which can be more clearly seen in the photograph below.
