The Forge Rebuild
18 July 2025Hey good people, Steve Watkins here 🙂. It's taking some time to actually sort all this out. I'm working through some dilemmas that have arisen between myself and my mortgage provider. It's been a hectic time but I can't sit and wait for what I hope will be a positive outcome. I really want to get the "Forge", (as I call it, being the 1914 blacksmith cottage), back to its original facade, the history of that building that has come to me through people that know it, lived in it, and indeed had some attachment to it from the day it was built has been both upsetting and inspirational to me. Wanganui needs to have this history restored and I'll do everything in my power to make sure that happens. I truly appreciate and thank everyone who has put into this account. To those that have supported me physically at ground zero, I am humbled and only wish good for you too 😊. Thanks again to you all in givealittle land. Much love. Watch this space.
Steve Watkins.
