Ironsmiths

P1080342L (Camera: Panasonic GH2)

The sound of the pounding resonated in the air around the corner of a lesser known street in the old area of Yau Ma Tei on the Kowloon side.  The ironsmiths started business well before the Reclamation Road was reclaimed to land and the Ferry Street was next to the ferry piers no more.  These ironsmith's shops helped replenish useful metal materials  and tools to ocean-going vessels berthing in the waters surrounding Yau Ma Tei in the old days.
