Lacey Green Windmill


Lacey Green Windmill is thought to be the oldest surviving smock mill and the third oldest windmill in the British Isles. The machinery it still contains could be that which was installed when it was originally built in 1650.


Metalock repaired ten segmental castings, six of which were cracked, and four broken in two. In addition, ten circular rack sections were broken in two or three pieces. From patterns Metalock were able to repair these and also produce three additional segmental sections.


Darlington Market


Restoration of this 100 year old historic covered market was carried out under a preservation order. Inspection showed 24” to 48” fractures in six of the cast iron architectural columns supporting the roof. As it was virtually impossible to replace the columns without a total stripdown, a repair was essential, avoiding the shortcomings of welding.


The Metalock repair required no dismantling, was guaranteed and approved by Lloyd’s.
