The Commemorative Fire Beacon

A proud day @ Burned by Design with the installation of the Fire Beacon at Owd' Martha's Yard yesterday...

Owd' Martha's Yard is a community garden in our our local town centre of Hoyland run by local volunteers. Following the success of the commemorative bench we made for the garden last year, the OMY team asked Alex if we could make a 'Fire Beacon' so that the Hoyland and wider community could be part of the the very special event....

'Nation's Tribute of 100 years remembrance' and become part of the very special 'WW1 Beacons of Light' event. 

Now the bench was a very special project for us to be involved in, if not a little way from our norm...but the 'Fire Beacon' was totally up our alley. 

Alex had regular design meetings with the committee at OMY to make sure their vision came to light and I think we can all now agree it has!!! 

To say we are honoured to be involved really is an understatement!! 

A few thank yous to mention...Allan Wood, Allison Richardson and the rest of the Owd' Martha’s Yard comity for commissioning the piece...

Ellis, Craig and the rest of the lads at Premier Engineering Yorkshire Ltd for their help with all the laser cutting...

Patrick Dodson at at PMD building for lending us their tower scaffold...

Dave at Allendale Building Supplies for using their hiab to hoist this beast into position...

The lads at M C Mills & Co Ltd for all the nuts and bolts that hold this beast in place...

And to anyone else we have missed who came along to lend a hand!
