This hand-forged strake nail is short and chisel shaped, with a narrow cutting edge, driven against the drain without any preliminary holes. This nail came from the wheelwright's shop at Writtle, where straked wagon wheels were made up until the 1920s. A strake is an iron 'shoe' which is nailed over the junction of two felloes on a wheel; this was gradually replaced with 'hoop tyres', which covered the rim of a wheel with one continuous hoop of iron.
