At present we are working hard to get Garforth Station Footbridge restored and erected on site.  At 130 years old we think it deserves to be saved as an example of our rail and engineering heritage.  The timber for the decking and steps has now arrived.

What we do

At Bredgar we have restored many long since abandoned industrial vehicles and machines to their former glory, some are better than original and now benefit from a new lease of life.
