Mr Neville Barnes served his apprenticeship and started his working life with Mr Rennison, the blacksmith in Gringley-On-The-Hill, Nottinghamshire. He then went on to work with the Blacksmith in Upton, Mr George Smith, in 1934, travelling in each day from Gringley for a while and then, lodged in the village. Seven years later, the passing of Mr Smith, gave Mr Barnes the opportunity to purchase the business, which he did in the April of 1941 and in December of that same year, Neville married and moved into the cottage at the Forge in Padmoor Lane with his wife, Edith... In later times the business manufactured spares to fit a wide range of agricultural machinery and this was extended further by John Martinson, Neville's son-in-law, When he joined the business in the early 1980's... Mr Barnes died in October 1999, but the business continued under the direction of John and two of Neville's daughters, Margeret Martinson and Elizabeth Crow, who had both entered the business directly after..
