While researching my previous post on London’s stretcher railings, I found the website of the company that actually made them, a steel fabricators based in the English Midlands which is still going – and, it looks like, busy! – today, called Steelway.
Through that, I found this cutting about how the stretcher railings came about. It was written by a local historian, Dr Carl Chinn, and published by the Wolverhampton Express and Star newspaper in 2010. I thought it might be of interest to stretcher railing fans:
