News from abroad

Alongside our fantastic local shops, many of whom have sent our wares around the world, we have a growing number of overseas outlets, in places from Germany,to Slovenia, Texas and New York...... and growing. We are committed to "going global" with our Great British Brand

But, of course, we also send Netherton Foundry products around the world from our website - if you can't find a shipping option for your country, please send us an e-mail and we'll find the best possible deal for you.
We love to hear from the people who have bought them.

If you scroll through the recipes, you'll find contributions from Finland and Hungary, as well as a post courtesy of our friend in the Philippines.

We love to share the great stories sent to us and so it is a huge pleasure to introduce you to the Thomsons from Australia and let them tell you their story in their own words.
Sadly the Netherton Foundry to which Heather refers is no longer in operation, but we hope that we are carrying on the traditions that they laid down.


Hello, We recently purchased a Coalbrookdale Clock and kettle from you which arrived at our home in Palm Tree, Queensland, Australia yesterday. We are thrilled with the quality and the story behind your products. We live on an a farm outside Toowoomba, which has a rich history of dairying and saw milling. Our property had been in our family for almost 100 years so we have many remnants of yesteryear which we treasure. One of our special items is a Condamine Bell. 

Samuel William Jones (a blacksmith and Wheelwright) whose family originated in Pontybat, Brickenshire, Wales, in 1860 moved to the small town of Condamine, Queensland, Australia in 1866. Samuel began crafting Condamine Bells after a drover requested a stock bell for his horse. There were no bells on hand but he fabricated a bell (with his knowledge of his home country - England), using a discarded pit saw from which was the only suitable material available to him. He hung it at the entrance of his shop in Condamine, until the customer returned. It was an ingenious design and became a sought after product for teamsters/drovers and kids with a goat and cart who recognised its value. The Jones' Condamine Bell had a distinctive deep tone which could be heard a great distance away, unlike other bells at the time. Samuel became famous for his bells and before long, the cross cut saws and pit saw blades (the material used to construct the bell) became scarce due to the size and volume of bells people required. Samuel needed to source materials to make his Condamine Bell elsewhere. As a result of the demand, Samuel began to order heavy and light gauge English Netherton Iron which was sent from Brisbane. We searched the Internet to verify the story and were amazed to find the Netherton Foundry is still in operation and links directly to our Condamine Bell. Thank you for the beautiful pieces and we look forward to adding to our collection of Netherton Foundry craftsmanship.
