The wood and iron workshop that was home to the famous De Klerk's Coppersmith has been abandoned. The workshop was built in the late 1890s and is a Provincial Heritage Site (click here to view on The Heritage Register). Although the property is fenced off, there are concerns that a lack of use and maintenance will endanger this highly significant site. Please use this thread to add background and updates.
