3:2 Ratio - Landscape, Australia, Norfolk IslandABOUT THIS IMAGE
George ‘Father’ Bailey came to Norfolk Island in the years following the arrival of the Pitcairners. He brought the Bailey name to the island and worked as a blacksmith at the time of the Melanesian Mission. Bailey’s Blacksmiths is remarkably well preserved at the Pitcairn Settlers Village having had relatively little modification overall, and is complete with a dual-bellowed forge that is still fully operational.
Together with some more modern memorabilia on display, this museum tour is a fascinating insight into Pitairn-era Norfolk and the years leading up to present day.
