    Has anyone had any recent dealings with this company?
    The phone number on the website is 'not recognized', and emails have gone unanswered.

    Its just that I have a hand lamp in need of repair and TLC.

    Thanks

    Frank

    Roger & June were at the Shrewsbury Steam Rally with their stand last weekend - still in business.
    The computer isn't Roger's first love, but he does normally respond to emails fairly promptly. The "r.mills@..." address on their current website is the one Roger last used to contact me earlier this year.

    They are all the ones I have tried. I don't fancy an hour or two drive to go banging on a door.

    There's a good coppersmith in Clitheroe, if that helps.
    I've had lamp tops made there, and liked what he did.

    Laurie Harrison Coppersmith is the name, he's on Facebook. I have email/ phone number also, but I'm currently away from the details.

    That's the one!
    Good ol' Laurie :)

    Give him a call ( Mrs Coppersmith answers, she does front of house, but is good with her hands herself)

    They are at the Beds Steam Fayre at Turvey this weekend - I saw them today in the Heritage Marquee.
