Bulbourne is a small community two miles north of Tring in Herts. A narrow road bridge crosses the Grand Union Canal with the Grand Junction Arms pub on one side and several 19th century canal workshops, managed by the River & Canal Trust, on the other. One of the buildings, dated 1908, currently houses the Bulbourne Forge. Trading as Hammer & Tongs, it uses many traditional metalworking skills, including the hand-forging of hot metal.
Paul Elliott, a Fellow of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths, founded the company in 1988. He heads a team of other skilled artist-blacksmiths who work on all sizes of commissions for a variety of clients. Hammer & Tongs manufactures and restores steel gates, wrought-iron railings, metal balconies, garden sculptures, public art commissions and architectural ironwork restorations.
Most of the photographs were taken in July 2016.

The original Tring Brewery was established in 1890 in the High Street and in 2015 the entrance could still be seen adjacent to Almar Stationers. The current brewery was established on the Akeman Business Park, off Akeman Street, in 1992. The facility was very small with a capacity to produce eight barrels of beer per brew.
When the brewery moved to a converted cattle-shed on Dunsley Farm the capacity increased to 30 barrels per brew. In 2015 Tring Brewery produced 25 beers with recipes formulated by the brewer, Barry Phipp, and production was 1.8 million pints per year supplied to freehouses, pub chains and direct to the public via the brewery shop.
