Cox's relish recraft at Salvo Fair in June
Gloucestershire, UK - Take a stroll around Cox's Yard and you will find a warehouse divided by huge pieces of timber room panelling and screen dividers. Through reclaimed doorways you will see racks of reclaimed doors, antique bathroom gear, grand fireplaces, old butchers blocks, fireplace tiles, stoves, roll top baths, benches and radiators, all of which are the genuine article. As well as items left untouched and sold-as-seen, there are many examples, integral to the business, of items being recrafted into new products.
At Salvo Fair this year Cox's Yard from Gloucestershire will be demonstrating one aspect of the recraft side of the business, turning old oak carriage boards from French freight trains into solid timber doors, built to size, and with all the craftsmanship, strength and character of a good old-fashioned reclaimed door.
