A sad story.....

We found these bench ends buried in the undergrowth and I thought it would be nice to make them back into a bench. They are very heavy cast iron and I had thought that they were Victorian or Edwardian.





So I cleaned them up with a wire brush then I jet washed them.


and they came up very nice. But in cleaning them I found a manufacturers mark.


Not antique then. More likely 1970's B&Q. Never mind it will still make a comfy chair.
