Founded more than 200 years ago in a small blacksmiths shop in West Street Brading, 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 from the original blacksmiths shop over the last two hundred and twenty three 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 shop.

It all began with my great great great grandfather and his son crafting iron gates and railings together in their forge at Brading, mainly for local estates In those days of course, all work was bespoke.
Nowadays, the market is flooded with mass-produced and sometimes characterless repeated designs, we are passionate about forging hand finished unique gates and railings and we would like to think that this is visible in our work both large and small.We still create bespoke gates and railings using the age old method of fire, forge and hammer, although these days we have the added help from a wide selection of power hammers large and small.

Decorative and practical at the same time, our iron obelisks come in a range of vibrant colours and are the perfect vegetable, fruit or flower-growing accessory. Offering much-needed support for climbers, our iron obelisks come in three sizes to suit different plants and gardens. The simple, modern design will blend seamlessly with any plant that grows and curls around it, creating a sculptural delight that is part metal, part nature.
