“Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power, has that ability to comfort.” – Norman Kolpas See our most recent editorial blog from The British Ironwork Centre, the writers this week are 2 students from North Shropshire College, Dani & Nicolas.

 Oswestry Town Council have awarded our chairman, Clive, the Civic Award for supporting the town of Oswestry
and promoting local tourism. Cllr Peter Cherrington presented the award to Clive's son Ben Knowles at the
annual civic dinner held at Wynnstay Hotel and SPA recently. The town and tourism in the area has always been one of
Clive's biggest passions. Over the years he has done so much and this award is a tremendous honour to receive.

We have a total of 32 knife banks to create for London Metropolitan Police. This week we delivered the first 10 while collecting another 2 crates of weapons from the force.

These knife banks as you can see are desperately needed and it's evidence again of how much needs to be done not just in London but throughout the nation.

Thank you London Met for your continued and valued support.

How an idea starts ….

We are always trying new ideas and looking to do something imaginative.

Take a look at this initial sketch, illustrating a horse, possibly a Pegasus, built on top of a Honda CX500.

We have renewed our OswestryChamber of commerce membership for another year.

The chamber is in need of more numbers and greater support from the business community.

It is a fantastic way of networking and by being a member you can help influence decision making within the town for the well-being of all businesses and the town as a whole.

This Thursday we will be collecting knifes and weapons fromCambridgeshire Constabulary

The force has been working exceptionally hard in order to remove as many knives and weapons off the streets of Cambridgeshire as possible.

With their help, we are that bit closer to removing 100,000 knives off the streets of the UK and spreading much needed awareness on the effects of knife crime and violence.

We aim to distribute over 1000 of these Burwarton Agricultural showInformation leaflets to our visitors.

This year we will be supporting the show by sending over some of our sculptures and other works of art to add a bit of drama to this year's show.

Fancy a treat? We have the perfect thing to tantalise or taste buds in our cafe today.

Coopers Gourmet Sausage Rolls in a variety of different flavours! You can chose from traditional, BBQ, Vegetarian or Chilli flavour.

If your feeling more adventurous why not try their scotch eggs with black pudding or a Chicken, Cranberry and Bacon Scotty?

We have hit an incredible milestone onTripAdvisor!!!

Thanks to Peter T from Oswestry, we have reached 500 reviews!!!

It means a lot to us to hear what our visitors thought of their experience at the Ironworks and we read every single review.

Thank you to everyone who has left us a review since we began in 2014, we wouldn't be able to continue and to grow without knowing your thoughts.

Here's to the next 500, Let's reach 1000 by December.

THANK YOU!
