Amongst the acres of fragrant lavender, there are numerous railway sleeper raised beds to be found perching against the agricultural buildings that make up Norfolk Lavender. Wonderfully bleached by the sun, the railway sleepers make up a gentle contrast to the rigid block faces of the farm buildings.

The outstanding Kilgraney garden is finished at last. A beautiful design. Both with and without the plants you can see what an exceptional creation it is. A garden palace made from oak railway sleepers and intricate stone paving. The lighting is stunning and provides a night time wonderland. Quite wonderful.

A really original and unique industrial style table using dramatically weathered Jarah railway sleepers to support a one-off cast concrete table top.
A very impressive creation that combines and contrasts the rough, beaten finish of the reclaimed railway sleepers and rough edges of the cast concrete, with the polished concrete table top.

Graham sent us impressive pictures of his new railway sleeper wall, and generously added these crumbs of comfort:
By the way, keep believing in Nottingham Forest; I’m a life-long Stoke City fan, and we’re having some time in the sun at the moment; It comes around to all of us eventually!
Hmmm... It's all very well for them. I can't remember the sun shining for decades!

Dave the Dog created this amazing railway sleeper 'throne' inspired by the unique furniture of Charles Rennie Macintosh (1868 - 1928).
