William Lane Foundry

Fantastic quality of workmanship. Even took my son to show him how it should be done. Amazingly mix of traditional and new workings.

Very co.operative and polite staff and excellent work manshil.

Went here to get some plastic gears cast into metal. Stuart was a great help and very friendly. He had plenty of time for such a small job and even gave us a little look at the amazing workshop and some casting being done! Would certainly recommend this place to anyone. It's just a shame more places like this aren't still around.

We went for a look round the foundry today, and what an utterly fascinating place!We were shown round by David and Stewart, who were both welcoming, knowledgeable and very funny.Our group ranged in age from 13 to 76 and we all found it so interesting, to learn about our local history and heritage.If you ever get the chance to visit, during the open Middlesbrough sessions, it is so worth it. A fantastic visit!Thank you.

My experience of the helpful staff and excellent product that was gratefully received and lovingly erected on my wall for all to see, was superb and cannot thank them enough.

I First visited this Middlesbrough gem on a visit arranged through Middlesbrough heritage and I loved it.It was fascinating seeing first hand how they made articles with the metals and enjoyed listening to Stuart and David tell us the history and the stories of their experiences. I wish I was quite a few years younger and I would apply for an apprenticeship. The next time I went with my friend to pick up a Cannon Street road sign for her daughter. What a masterpiece, loved it I believe you could take any idea to them and they will make a beautiful piece of art for you.

Having tried to source a replacement fire damper that broke in two after several decades of use, I was put in touch with the William Lane Foundry. After sending them the broken part, they offered to make a new one! A brilliant piece of work that should last another few decades. Very helpful staff and willing to go the extra mile to help.

Very helpful staff, hope to do some business with these first class tradesmen.
