In 1885, the first Mayor of Morley, Joseph Scofield held a competition to design a new town hall for the people of Morley, having recently gained borough status. The winning design clung firmly to the tradition of the late 19th century, drawing on inspiration from most other buildings of the time, being unabashedly neo classical. Over it’s grand history, Morley Town Hall has played host to Queen Elizabeth II, has been the recording site for Grimethorpe Colliery Band’s album and the occasional filming of Emmerdale. And now, it’s graced with a beautiful Wilton Carpet.

Yewfield Hotel Gets Classical Dimensions Makeover
Hotel refresh demanded timeless design and enduring quality. We were delighted to be involved in the refurbishment of the elegant Yewfield Hotel in Ambleside. Guestrooms, lodges as well as lounges, restaurant and common areas of the hotel have been refreshed in durable axminster providing super-luxurious under-foot comfort and great lifetime value.

It’s an increasingly significant problem in the South of the UK. They typically munch in corners, under furniture and other spaces they are less likely to be disturbed. Shut downs, due to current restrictions have left pubs, bars, restaurant and hotels in the dark, and unvacuumed for obvious reasons, so hordes of Tinea Pellionella have been left to flourish. Moth Proof vs Moth Resistant ‘Moth proof’ is a misnomer; the only way to treat carpets is to treat the yarn with a chemical toxic… Read More
