Celebrating 30 Years of Evolution at Our Midgley Centre

The opening of our Midgley Centre marked a landmark in the evolution of the business.

CREATING A RETAIL DESTINATION

On September 26th 1996, following the closure of the local coal mine, we relocated our entire Midgley-based operation to the newly vacated 13-acre site.

In many ways, the company was a pioneer, offering fencing and landscaping products directly to the public. The move allowed for the further modernisation of the sawmill operation and the development of our retail offer – creating the destination that our customers experience today.

Earnshaws are one of a rare breed of companies who have proudly grown under family ownership for over 150 years. Based in Yorkshire, we are one of the region’s oldest timber and forestry businesses. With sustainability and respect for the environment firmly at our roots, we aim to use timber from sustainable sources whenever possible.

Our timber processing, driveway gate manufacturing centre and Head Office, near Wakefield, is one of the most successful examples of re-purposing in the area – as it sits on the site of the old Denby Grange colliery and mine.

After 30 years at Midgley, we offer customers a unique retail experience, excellence in customer service and a wealth of garden design, landscaping and outdoor lifestyle inspiration.
