The workshop is located at the old Vincent Works near Bradwell. The buildings were originally used as a steel rolling mill and is said to be where Barnes Wallis developed the hardened steel casings for the bouncing bombs during WW2.

I have been making shoes since the age of eleven. After working in a variety of shoe manufacturers I set up my own business in 1996, originally in Prescot in Merseyside.

 

In 2003 the business moved to Leigh in Lancashire where we remained until our move to Brough in 2010.

 

This picture shows me checking a shoe during the lasting over process.
