Workshop

The blacksmiths craft almost died out during the 1970’s due to the increasing use of fabrication techniques. The craft has gone through a renaissance with demand for the unparalleled artistic expression that forge work offers and the need for skilled craftsmen in the refurbishment of heritage ironwork. Chris Topp & Co have gained an international reputation in this area and were awarded ‘The Industrial Diploma of Excellence’ company award from the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths. This award is the highest award available for blacksmithing companies where more than one smith is involved in the design and construction of ironwork.
