Wheel Wrights Oven.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wheel wright's oven on the Green, East Walton, Norfolk. A fire in this building was used to heat the iron tyres of farm tumbrils and wagons. It was in use until about 1940. The wheel to be fitted was clamped to a nearby iron disc on the ground, and when the tyre was red-hot, it was transferred to the wheel by means of the special tools displayed inside. Buckets of cold water (from a well on the same green) were then thrown over it, and as it contracted, a tight fit was obtained.
