The warehouse contains a lot of the stock we do not have room to keep on the
yard and it is situated at a farm just outside the village. It is a good idea to telephone before you come to see us, to ensure there is a member of staff available to accompany you to the warehouse to view the vast array of salvage on offer.
A lot of the images below were taken at the old building, but they still give a good idea of what to expect when you visit us. |

In the warehouse, we have a large selection of doors, floorboards, architrave, and other timber. This picture shows a small sample.
We always carry lots of mouldings and architrave - you can either re-use around doors, use as picture/mirror frames or, as I did on a TV programme, make a fire surround.

It may look a little chaotic, but you never know where you will find that sought after item. It is also worth noting that there is no reproduction stock in the warehouse.

We have lots of seating - benches from an old church, some fold-up chairs and a nice cast iron municipal park bench from Northampton, which has the Northampton Coat of Arms on it.

Here you can see a set of scales from on old Co-op, some outside light fittings from an old church and the latest in bathroom appliances - a hip bath!

Above is a quantity of fenders - some with nice brass fretwork, others mainly cast iron.
There are also some fire dogs - if you look carefully, you can see a pair in the neo-classical style, made by the Carton Company.

A fantastic pine chimneypiece. Behind it is a Regency door, and in the foreground you can see a few original pine surrounds - there are always some of these in stock.

We can and do restore some of these.
You may wonder what they have to do with architectural salvage. I have been dealing in these since 1982. There is something about the quality and intricacy of the ironwork that fascinates me, so I have never been able to leave them alone.
There are an awful lot of poor reproduction bedsteads. Before you buy, compare an antique with a cheap reproduction - you will see there is no comparison.
If you already own a bedstead but it is missing the bed irons, don't worry - we may be able to help you as we have some spares tucked away.

This is the first image of the new warehouse. As you can see, there is plenty of scope for a rummage.
