Cleckheaton firm helps out with new installation for 60,000 love locks
The Metal Store supplied galvanised steel tubes and clamps which were used to build the so-called Love Locker structure at Thornbridge Hall, Derbyshire.
The love locks were previously attached to Weir Bridge in Bakewell (which became known as Love Lock Bridge), but were removed by Derbyshire County Council when the bridge needed repairs and maintenance.
The council also changed the bridge's design so that no further locks could be added.
The 'Save the Love Locks at Bakewell' campaign group asked Thornbridge Hall to relocate the locks to the venue.
Emma Harrison, owner of Thornbridge Hall, said: "The Metal Store has excelled in bringing my vision for the Love Locker to life, from supplying the materials to supporting me with any necessary guidance and advice.
"The love locks from Weir Bridge in Bakewell mean so much to so many people.
"It's fantastic to be able to display these at Thornbridge Hall and allows visitors to either come take a look at their old locks or create new memories by adding one to the display."
The Metal Store started trading in 2011.
