Earlier this year we were approached by Taverham Parish Council to put forward a design for their new village sign. We were fortunate enough to win the commission and after working with them we had honed the design to the one you see below.

The local church is represented, as is the local Saint Walstan and the River Wensum that runs through the parish. It is all designed to stand on an amazing piece of twisted railway line to resonate with it's railway history.

We drew up the design life-size on a board and set to forging the individual elements to create the three-dimensionality of steel (see middle image).

Finally the whole lot was welded together and is ready for the galvanisers (bottom photo). Upon it's return we will be hand painted in colourful acrylics. I'll post more images as the project comes to completion
