British Manufacture!

As a fan of manufacturing within the UK, I love discovering brand that have heritage and still have their own factories within the Uk.


I have fallen in love with Grenson shoes and the whole heritage behind the brand.Having been started in 1866 by William Green it is an inspiring story about the build of a great British brand and one the apparently was the first registered brand within the UK.

The recent collaboration with Barbour is amazing too! Barbour alone is one of my favourite British brands, I can't help but love ones with heritage and still going strong and have factories within the UK.


Had to share this with you as I am dying to visit the factory and work with these people, in my dreams of course! But they can come true......


Take a step back in time with these images.

Flash back photograph's

Stumbling through the little cobble streets of the old fruit market area, on the marina in Hull, I discovered a quirky little gallery which had amazing photograph's from 80's which the content ranged from..flat parties, protests to tickets from gigs through the 80's.

Here's just a few examples from the little treasure find!
Don't you just want to be at one of their parties? I do.
