Once upon a time at black country metal works

Enchant Your Garden with the Magic of Metal Sculptures

Once upon a time, in a world where ‘normal’ gardens blossomed in the springtime with flowers, fruit, trees and wildlife, there also lived a secret metal garden kingdom, tucked away in the rolling Shropshire hills. This magical metal kingdom was filled with iron and metal creatures; mystical beings forged from molten metal, each one unique in its own right and with a story to tell.

These whimsical metal sculptures didn’t just decorate gardens; they transformed them into living fairy tales. What is more, this majestical metal memorabilia is available to you, the public, to buy and recreate your own fairy tale garden. So we ask you, what is ‘normal’? What is ‘beautiful’? After all, a house is a home that you create - whether that’s in metal or otherwise, so sit back and listen to our tale as we take you on an adventure like no other.

The Beginning of the Metal Magic

In the land of gardens, where ordinary plants could tell stories of seasons changing, there was a yearning for heroes, for mythical creatures to stir the imagination.

One day, a curious traveller arrived, carrying with him a piece of iron, shiny and gleaming in the sunlight. The traveller whispered ancient words and with a few careful strokes of a hammer, the iron transformed into its first shape: a spoon gorilla, as tall as he was wide, ready to soar over the garden and ignite the imaginations of passers by for many years to come.

...and so, the metal magic began.
