:)Hi I thought i recognised it. That was where my grandad spent many a long day. Thought the "BOSS" would of had it covered in crap by now. Never expected it to still look like that

Thanks for making my day

Thanks for the comments.
NL as you've probably noticed i dont do indoor but thought this was worth a bash.
There is a skylight right above the anvil and a tiny window to the right,took a bit of trial and error till i got the light looking reasonable.
Horsegirl,the bellows still work,would be really cool to take a photo with the fire going.I think it would give of a lovely glow.

Brilliant. My grandad John Campbell and his son Willliam (father of Jock)worked here and I remember having a shot at pumping the bellows.
