The Principal double gates at Colerne

Earlier this year we were approached by a Bristol based firm of Architects; Acanthus Ferguson Mann to work with them on an exciting large-scale new build project near Colerne on the outskirts of Bath.

We submitted a series of designs and were delighted when we were commissioned to make and fit two sets of impressive entrance gates, with a set of high panelled railings plus an additional single gate. We were particularly excited about this project because all the pieces were constructed using traditional blacksmithing techniques, and we were able to pull out all the stops and really show off the team’s specialist skills.

We’ve created a short video clip of the team at work on site, individually leading in railings into limestone copings. This is the traditional method of fixing wrought iron railings into stone – to view it, please follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJD7qZmUb8Q

This prestigious project was completed in late September, the overall effect of the metalwork in situ is truly breathtaking and it was a huge boost for the entire team. We’re delighted to be able to showcase this commission on our website, and have posted a few of the images here to give you a flavour of this fantastic project.
