They are about 35miles north east of where I'm sat.

I think I rang them up once for some price quotes a couple of years back
and they seemed pretty helpful.  This stuff is not cheap though.

The wrought iron they sell is I believe recycled at the historic
IronBridge hammer at Blist Hill.
 See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2GHI9-6gMI for a video of large
chunks of chain etc. being reworked under a large hammer into the bars
you can purchase.
