Post by: Wills on March 29, 2016, 12:11:25 PM: Not sure if it's common knowledge yet, but I have it on good authority that Bradbury are opening a workshop in Kent.

I have asked them a couple of times for more info as I am thinking about a refurb for the ex-pro Bradbury I picked up a few months back, but not had a response.

Be interesting to see what happens just seems very close to salix who posted this picture on their page

not saying that they are making for Bradbury just thought both pictures looked similar apart from the handles being cut out

Post by: Bats_Galore on April 16, 2016, 12:17:30 PM: I for one will certainly be hotfooting it down to their new workshop asap. The last time I had bats made by them in Somerset, it was one of the best experiences of buying a bat, and was an amazing bat for many years. I couldn't recommend them highly enough both as people and batmakers.
