The Old Forge, The Street, High Halstow Parish, is mentioned in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment for the parish, part of the wider Hoo Peninsula study. The Old Forge is recorded as one of the few pre-20th century buildings surviving. It is a two story L-shaped house with one-storey range that formerly contained the forge. A façade of pseudo timber framing was reputedly created by the local wheelwright and jobbing builder Arthur Plewis in the mid-20th century but the building has older origins. When this forge passed out of use in the 1920s, another located to the east of the churchyard was used. It is also the source of the naming of Forge Lane. (1)
