If you can locate a street map of Stratford on Avon of the period, it looks as if it is somewhere between Post Office Row and the Bell Inn. The Bell is easily found, but  I can’t find Post Office Row on a modern map.

You can see The Bell Inn and the Post Office on this  1914 map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/418650/254700/12/101153

Sorry- only just realised that you replied again- snapshot attached from Ancestry transcript. No OS map there.
The Head of the family was William Cranmer- born 1868.

:) Hi the 1939 has an OS map showing its whereabouts after the household?

I’ve just done a little test on known locations, and the blue marker on the FindMyPast maps with the 1939 is not accurate.

According to the 1939 Registration on Ancestry, The Forge was adjacent to The Bell Inn, shown as Smy (Smithy the workshop of a smith or blacksmith; a forge.) on the map at https://maps.nls.uk/view/115636541#zoom=5&lat=5876&lon=15719&layers=BT.
On this corner Google Street View https://goo.gl/maps/gfxsBpmXrpTiJMbh7
He is transcribed as William Crammer on Findmypast.
