'Official' GW Smithy/Forge?

Lord
Did GW ever make an official Townscape style smithy?
I know there was the one that was part of the coaching inn from a WD, and I think there was a Dwarven one?

But was there ever a Townscape one or an article in WD or the like ?
 
I am might be suffering from false memory syndrome, but am sure one was in photos, but can’t find any reference to an article on how to make one…

The Dwarf Anvil of Doom was more of a terrain model than a giant anvil on wheels in its second iteration?
 
2ed - The Riding has Building 8 used for the bakery in Shoodthrope, the Watermill in Mayby and the Smithy in Averridge

Annoying, I don't have access to the buildings but it looks like it wasn't included in the Townscape reprint (cause all the buildings in that were released before.. apart from maybe one) but the closest I could figure out is probably TS 27 (Cottage) but with the waterwheel from TS 4 (Watermill) and a new external chimney section

I believe so OR some blacksmiths use a Trip Hammer, which is basically an electric hammer used up till the 12th century. The large hammer is used for crushing the ores into smaller pieces or some basic stamping until it was replaced by a powered Hammer. I know Ancient China and the Romans and stuff used Trip Hammers. By the industrial revolution steam-powered hammers were used alot and then forging started to go out of fashion compared to other methods in the iron industry but there my knowledge runs out ^_^

Actually no.
The smith in Averridge is not near the river.
In the Averridge picture the water wheel is not present. (the construction guide says to have the wheel as free standing item.)

Where it is used is in Mayby where that building has the wheel and is a water mill.
