PAST EVENT - Time Team & Blink Films film at our workshops.

Television programmes filmed at our workshop

The Channel Four TV programme – Time Team have again filmed at our workshop for an episode screened in March 2011. In this episode Tony Robinson examines new research into the Battle of Bosworth, which challenges the understanding of this iconic battle and the entire nature of medieval English warfare. The Time Team presenters and film crew were filming us making a replica cannon as part of the understanding of past skills and techniques.

Blink Films filmed at our workshops for a documentary about the Eiffel Tower called ‘Monumental Challenge’.

The Eiffel Tower is undergoing a restoration programme, the first major works since the tower was built in 1889. It was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution. Its construction in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days was a technical and architectural achievement and was only intended to last for 20 years.

Blink Films have captured this major programme of works and explains how this now iconic monument has stood the test of time and why the wrought iron material used in its creation is so important.

Blink Films filmed at our workshop the processes; we still use, which would have been used in the making of the 7,300 tonnes of wrought iron for its construction.

This documentary was shown on the History Channel in March 2011.
