Blacksmiths Workshop Since 1790

Founded more than 200 years ago in Brading in 1790, our family business has continued until today and we make no secret of being proud of it! The Stay family still lives in Brading and although much has changed over the last two hundred and twenty years, some things do remain the same…

When W. Stay & Son was founded, metal was worked with fire, forge and hammer – and it still is. Back then, our great grandfather had never heard of a telephone table, but if you drew him a picture he would have made it for you. The same applies today and the old anvil and some of the original tools used by grandfather and great-grandfather are still in use in our blacksmiths workshop. Of course, there have been changes on the way, for example we now also have a modern blacksmiths workshop with appropriate technology and safety standards.

Family Run Blacksmiths Workshop

Since the start of our business, skills have been passed down from father to son and each generation has added current technological advancements to our traditional base. In the same way, contemporary design has added to our repertoire, rather than replacing the traditional. This process is not at an end. We are always ready to expand our horizons. Your own design may even be futuristic, or perhaps it has never been made before. Rest assured, if it can be made in metal, we can make it!

Because the basic truth remains: We are blacksmiths in a blacksmiths workshop, we work in metal, we create in metal – it’s what we do and we’d love to do it for you! Just contact us and tell us your requirements. We will do the rest.
