• Notes

  From Monthly Chronicle of North Country Lore 1891 page 233: "When old Mr. Lough went to Muggleswick he left the smithy in charge of his son Clemitson, or "Clem" as we called him. "Clem" was a man of fine physique and acquired great skill in farriery. He eventually succeeded to the business and helped John maintain his father and mother in comfort at Blanchland, where they died about 40 years ago..... ....Greenhead is, without doubt, a quiet and out-of-the way place to-day. But when I was a lad it was much less so. Being on the main road from Scotland to the South, it was a favourite rendezvous for the dealers and drovers who accompanied the great droves of cattle and sheep that were sent from the North to Southern markets. There was a good inn at Greenhead, plenty of grass land, and Lough's smithy, where they could have their cattle shod if necessary; for, strange as it may appear to the present day reader, cattle often were shoes like horses at that time. At this kind of work, "Clem " Lough was an adept. I have known him to be sent for from long distance to shoe cattle, and have heard of his accompanying droves as far south as York for the same purpose. Before the advent of railways, Greenhead was a sort of centre for a wide district, and was kept in close touch with the outside world. " In 1835 he was seving as a member of the Shotley Parish Association for the Prosecution of Felons. M Robson was the Clerk and Treasurer. He was still a member in 1861, now his son William was also a member
