Heritage Open Days - Gripple Ltd - A tour of the Old West Gun Works factory
Gripple is the multi-award winning manufacturer of the Gripple wire joining and tensioning device. Our head office and manufacturing facility is located at the Old West Gun Works, which was built in 1854 by Thomas Firth & Son and and was sympathetically refurbished in 1994 to provide a prestigious high-quality factory and offices for Gripple. With its unique timber-framed roof and Canadian redwood beams, plus 21 pairs of arches, it is listed as a building of special historic interest. Visits will be organised on a timed tour basis and will include a tour of the offices and factory (approx. 30 mins).
