The wing of London House which is now London Cottage remained up to 1967 virtually intact as a survival of the coaching inn's smithy. The smithy's hearth was under the stack at the far end of the building. On the ground floor were hooks for harnesses. On the upper floor a long room contained table skittles, qoits and a long bagatelle, all intact from the days of the coaching inn.
The building was subsequently used as a carpenter's workshop.
