A little bit of sad news as one of our old time favorite fireplaces is to be retired from the gallery range of fireplaces and stoves we offer.
We have sold the Derby Fireplace since its introduction into the Gallery range and the first year it was launched it won the Best Fireplace award at the Harrogate show.
It was originally sold in Both a Full Polished and Matt Black finish which was later changed to Black Leaded and the Full polished version dropped.
It has been a steady seller over the years in Black Lead since it was discontinued by gallery from the purple brochure and now it has come to the end.
We do have one left in stock at the price of £350 which is a real bargain as the price has shot up so much recently they would have needed to be sold at around £450 which is expensive when compared to our Pembroke Fireplace.
So Mr Derby Fireplace (or dirty derby as we know it being Forest fans) the time has come to bid you farewell it must be over 10 years this fireplace has been sold by me even when i was at Derwentside, funnily enough i enquired whether another one of my old favorites the Primrose was still available and as to how much they would be as i think we need to replace a cast of this size but retailing it at over £450 is just to much.
So anybody requiring the last Derby Fireplace available its here waiting in our showroom to find a new home and if your reading this article just click Derby Fireplace to view it.

Derby Fireplace to be retired from our range
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Derby Black Fireplace Novembers Featured Cast iron
Saturday, November 7th, 2009So it perils me being a forest supporter to have a fireplace named after a team i dislike but it was not me who named it and within our group inc our suppliers it is known as the Dirty for these reasons only.
Joking apart it happens to be a great cast iron combination fireplace and has a fireplace award from back in the day to its name.
It was dicontinued from the gallery range a few years ago but it is still made and we do keep it in stock because it is a very nice fireplace and also because it sells quite well.
So really it is exclusive to us no other website i know of sells it and we will continue to sell this fireplace.
On the new website categories it will be featuring as a package for both gas and solid fuel so it will give our customers a chance to buy this cast iron with a greater choice of options again all at our fantastic prices.
Anway about the Derby it is available in Black Grate polished finish only which really brings out the decorative features in the casting it does have a good sized back on suitable for solid fuel use and takes quite a large gas insert too.
Have alook at the photograph to view this fireplace in all its splendour and i am sure you will agree it does look good even if it does have a dodgy name
Black Derby Fireplace
Forest Win What a fantastic day at Cast Fireplaces
Saturday, August 29th, 2009Well what a great day at long last Forest have beaten Derby and I am celebrating, a lot of my friends are Derby fans so they will be in for some stick. Funnily enough we do a Fireplace called The Derby I have often thought about changing its name as that’s what is called by Gallery when they first produced it. It is rather an ornate fireplace and it was dropped from the gallery range a few years back but because it was a good seller we decided to keep stocking it and have done so ever since.
You cant buy this fireplace from many retailers and it is now only available in a black leaded finish which really makes the intricate casting details really stand out, so if you are looking for something more busy take a look at this great cast iron combination fireplace.
Rhian has been a little busy bee in the office today and has collected a nice pile of orders ready to arrange delivery on Tuesday for the following weeks.
Stoves again prove top be very popular and as we have said we have doubled stock levels to ensure consistent flow to avoid waiting times infact last week we even supplied a Firefox 12 to a local chimney sweep who could not wait for the trade suppliers as they were out of stock even our rep often jokes we keep more stocks than them of certain items.
This morning proves why we do this as we had an early call to our showroom to view our stock and Mr Darby (I knew the omens were good today) duly went away in his van with a Pembroke full polish gas package so if you visit our factory you will be amazed at the range of items we keep in stock for collection so if you wish to visit it is viewing by appointment only just ring me to arrange
Off to torment my mates now it’s long overdue
