Industrial
Archaeology

Many of the centres of the industrial revolution or its subsequent development have been destroyed or left to fall into disrepair. At Redhead Designs Ltd we are able to reconstruct them as they were in their prime, staffed and operating to full production.

Shoe factory reconstruction in Rushden, NorthantsIt's not just the heavy industry that we can reconstruct. Our latest project with Rushden & District History Society is to reconstruct a shoe factory which was demolished in the 1970s.

And it's not just the places of production - we've reconstructed the homes, living conditions and shops of the workers.
