We are passionate about railway sleepers..

EVERYTHING YOU EVER NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT RAILWAY SLEEPERS but were afraid to ask! Whether you are planning a raised bed, retaining wall, raised pond or some steps in the garden, you will find that railway sleepers are brilliant to use. Whether you want new or used railway sleepers, softwood or hardwood, untreated or treated, we have 1000's in stock & WE LOVE THEM! Some might say that this makes us a little obsessive, having recently built the largest railway sleeper projects collection in the world, but we are proud to say that we equally care about our customers & enthusiastically supply our railway sleepers throughout the UK. We even have a support programme for those ADDICTED to railway sleepers!

OODLES OF CHARACTER. ANCIENT RAILWAY SLEEPERS HOLD BACK THE SEA!

OODLES OF CHARACTER. ANCIENT RAILWAY SLEEPERS HOLD BACK THE SEA!

Bleached by the overpowering sun and pounded by the sea, these ancient weathered railway sleepers look magnificent as they proudly survive against all the elements. Of course they may not be standing there in another fifty years, but for the moment they are fiercely insistent on holding their own, with battered determination, like watchful railway sleeper sentinels.

POINT LEO'S BEACH WALLS FROM NEW RAILWAY SLEEPERS

POINT LEO'S BEACH WALLS FROM NEW RAILWAY SLEEPERS

Separating miles of sandy beach from the raised scrubby dunes, Point Leo has crisp new railway sleeper walls that look out towards Phillip Island. Naturally named after the first British Governor of New South Wales, Sir Arthur Phillip in 1788, who obviously struggled to pronounce the original Aboriginal island name of Corriong, and clearly preferred his own. Many a peaceful hour can be passed walking next to an isolated expanse of flat rock, seaweed and gentle lapping.

SMUGGLERS, SPIES, PRIME MINISTERS & RAILWAY SLEEPERS. WEYBOURNE HAS IT ALL!

SMUGGLERS, SPIES, PRIME MINISTERS & RAILWAY SLEEPERS. WEYBOURNE HAS IT ALL!

If I was telling you about the dramatic tales and larger than life characters that fill the history of Weybourne, on the North Norfolk coast, it is clear that the wind swept railway sleeper walls and steps that border the shingly beach would not be the gripping part of the story that would excite you most. Like the steam train that puffs cheerfully along the coast, there is a comforting familiarity to the bleached and weathered railway sleepers that edge the rolling dunes. It's much more likely that familes with sandwiches have sat on them, rather than smugglers, spies or an angry Winston Churchill!
