Have You Thought About Framing It?

Sports Memorabilia

Got a signed shirt, a medal, a special match-day programme or a treasured sporting keepsake tucked away at home?

Rather than leaving it in a drawer, why not turn it into something worth showing off?

From football shirts and cricket bats to medals and memorable sporting moments, bespoke framing can help you create a real talking point — and a great way to celebrate your achievements or your favourite team.

Some memories deserve more than a place in the cupboard!

Pop in and let's explore the possibilities.

Things We’ve Learnt About Framing #2

Bigger isn’t always better…

When it comes to framing, it’s easy to think that a bigger frame or a wider mount will automatically make a picture look better.

But it’s all about balance.

A generous mount can give a small piece of artwork space to breathe and help it stand out. However, if the frame is too heavy or dominates the artwork, it can distract from the very thing you want to show off.

Sometimes a simpler, narrower frame allows the artwork to take centre stage. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The size, style and colours of the artwork all play a part in finding the right combination.

Our advice? It’s not about making the frame bigger — it’s about getting the balance right. If you’re unsure what would work best for your picture, pop in and we’ll be happy to help.

We started framing in 1966.. we've learnt a few things in that time!

Have You Thought About Framing It?

Old Family Photographs

We all have photographs tucked away in drawers, albums or boxes — precious memories that deserve to be seen, not forgotten. Whether it’s an old family portrait, a wedding photograph or a special memory from years ago, the right frame can turn it into something to treasure and enjoy every day. Why not bring those memories out of the drawer and onto the wall?

Pop in and let’s find the perfect way to display them.

Things We’ve Learnt About Framing #1

The frame doesn’t always have to come first…

When you’re choosing how to frame a picture, it’s easy to start with the frame. You might see a style you love and immediately think, “That would look great.” And sometimes it will, but good framing is about looking at the whole picture — the artwork, the mount, the frame and where the finished piece is going to live.

Some artwork benefits from a mount, while other pieces look better without one. Sometimes the artwork itself dictates the frame; sometimes the frame is the starting point.

There isn’t always a right or wrong answer. The important thing is finding the combination that works best for the artwork. That’s why, when you visit one of our galleries, we’ll often ask a few questions before suggesting a frame.

Almost 60 years on and we’re quietly chuffed to be closing in our own milestone. Three generations, 4 different workshops, countless frames made, and endless stories shared.

A lot has changed but not everything... whether you’re framing a grand master or a cherished family photo, the same care and attention is taken.

To everyone who’s stepped through our doors: whether you popped in for a natter or to choose something special for the walls: thank you for letting us be part of your story.

Security Hangers...

Did you know that we can provide security hangers for fitting pictures, mirrors etc to walls - perfect for public spaces such as pubs, restaurants, hotels, care homes etc

These come with a lockable section which ensures that, once installed, the artwork won't move if knocked, can't be lifted off the wall etc.

We can also fit items with perspex instead of glass - something we regularly do when supplying artwork into care homes, hotels etc

Seen a frame you love?

“Can you get this one?”

Quite often… yes!

Send us a photograph, bring us a sample or show us what you're looking for and we'll see what we can source.

We have access to a huge range of mouldings, so if you've got something specific in mind, don't assume we can't get it — just ask.

If we can find it, we'll frame it.
