| Description |
English: View inside the wheelwright's oven on the Green, East Walton, Norfolk.
A plaque on the wall states that a fire in this building was used to heat the iron tyres of farm tumbrils and wagons. It was in use until about 1940. The wheel to be fitted was clamped to a nearby iron disc on the ground, and when the tyre was red-hot, it was transferred to the wheel by means of the special tools displayed inside. Buckets of cold water (from a well on the same green) were then thrown over it, and as it contracted, a tight fit was obtained. The oven could hold up to six tyres at a time – three large and three small. The work was directed by the village blacksmith whose former forge is at the end of the nearest row of cottages. |
