Arkendale Smithy - information wanted

Up until a few years ago, my father was the owner of the smithy in the village. I have been trying to research when it first came into existence. From the website history I found the last mention of a blacksmith was George Umpleby who sold the smithy in 1881. I wondered if any of the villagers have any more information on who bought the smithy from Mr Umpleby, or who my father bought it from. I am trying to build up an archive for my father, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: Thomas Marshall was the blacksmith in 1908. Francis Umpleby was the blacksmith in 1857 (father of George).
