Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The former forge which is in Thain's Lane located in the village of East Runton, Norfolk, United Kingdom. James Leak was the blacksmith here and he was renowned Bare-knuckle boxing prize fighter. He lived in one of six thatched cottages that once stood on the cliff top near Runton gap. In 1827 Leak had a big problem. The story goes that he had developed a gangrenous toe and was in fear of it spreading and causing his death. In his desperation, Leak came up with his own solution to his problem. He went to his forge in East Runton, rested his foot on his anvil and with one mighty blow removed the infected toe with a hammer and chisel. He then cauterized the stump with a red hot poker from out of his forge. This desperate surgery had been as a consequence of Leak being unable to afford surgeon's fees. He made a full recovery and his home surgery seems to have had little effect on the man as he continued his prize-fighting and lived to the age of 82.
