In the last few years there has been a lot of interest in the refurbishment of parks and public spaces, often facilitated by grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Chris Topp & Co have been fortunate to be involved with many of these in our role as specialists in ancient and traditional ironwork. We have been able to restore and made new gates, railings, bandstands and handrailing for many park projects, and indeed won an award for our gates at the Horden Park in Tyne and Wear.
