If you have visited us recently, you might have spotted this beautiful, handmade wooden truck sitting on our window sill. It has a wonderful local story behind it that we wanted to share.
A few years ago, one of our regular customers used to spend his time handcrafting these incredible wooden vehicles. He sold them through the Consett Glass Gallery, and every single penny he raised was generously donated to the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution).
He made this particular truck especially for us, complete with the Corbridge Road Garage name beautifully detailed on the side. In return, we were absolutely delighted to make a donation to support his fundraising efforts for the RNLI.
The lovely owners of the Consett Glass Gallery have since retired and closed their shop, but this truck remains a proud fixture in our office. It is a fantastic reminder of the talent, kindness, and community spirit of our customers.
Next time you are in, feel free to take a closer look!
