Around
A Yard
These pictures show a salvage yard. It is an old yard, and a working yard, where the rough sits quite happily alongside the smooth.
This is to give you an idea of the sort of things you can find, even though
they may not be available all of the time.
|
|
- Entrance
One of a pair of unusual Art Nouveau gates, total width 7 feet 6 inches
(these were abrasive cleaned and primed before being sold).
|
|
- Quarry Tiles
A satisfied "salvager" hand picking tiles for his home restoration project.
|
|
- Rummaging On A Yard
Everything everywhere and our own warehouse is very similar - see Warehouse page.
There are some interesting glazed piercaps in the foreground these are now for
sale on another yard in America.
|
|
- Stone Arch
This stone arch here is an example of the type of stonework that we have in stock. It was sold to an acclaimed Irish folk singer so that he could create a spiritual area in his garden, where he can sit and compose his music. It originally came from a church in Warwickshire which was sadly demolished - see my article, The Second Dissolution, in Period Living magazine May 2000.

- A View Of The Yard
In the foreground is an Art Deco clock which was originally fixed to the wall of an old co-op store.

|
- Another Image Of The Yard
In the centre is a huge mustard coloured kitchen shallow sink which has in the past been mistaken for a shower tray which might not seem a bad idea if
the right home cannot be found for it

- Pre-Restoration Stock
These fireplaces are shown before restoration. You can also buy them "as is" if you want to have a go yourself
