These collections are largely a photographic record of the wide range of projects undertaken by Stanegate Restorations and Replicas of Haltwhistle, who offer superior craftmanship for the heritage sector, mainly concentrating on timber items, large and small.
We undertake work involving the conservation, repair and restoration of heritage items, we also construct full scale replicas.
Our larger projects have included railway vehicles - of several gauges, as well as boat repairs and refits - including a 1909 pulling lifeboat.
We also take on smaller scale commissions, such as replica furniture. Some of our other products include interactive models and toys.
All our projects are carried out with the same high level of craftmanship and attention to detail.

As there are over 300 images, I have added a search facility. (See the lower boxes on the left hand side)
I have decided to display the communities list on the right hand side of the page.
Please Note, our main Website has recently been updated, and several significant changes have been made. It now has a new URL.
The collections for past projects are almost complete, and nearly all the images have been edited into a suitable order. (Only a few additional images remain outstanding, and most of these are due to be added when the project enters service.)
The collections for current contracts will be updated as suitable images of progress are obtained, so please check back to watch developments. |
