We have no details of this photograph, but we can determine or assume the following:-
This is No.2 Hammer at Top Forge
The crowd are standing around watching the hammer running.
The blurred block to the left of the crouching workman's head, is the hammer (blurred by movement).
Wood is being used to cushion the hammer.
This is not an 'Institute' visit as the crowd to the right is made up of families
We are seeking advice on the likely date from the manner of dress.
The photograph is taken with some form of Flash that is being held to the right and somewhat above the photographer.
