Britain's What's On Event Guide
Company visit - Odlings Memorial Stonemasons
Heritage Open Day: If you have ever wondered how a memorial is made, then this is the tour for you. Established in 1870, Odlings Ltd is one of the country’s largest manufacturers and importers of high quality memorials to the Monument trade, supplying granite, marble and stone sourced from the UK and around the world. The process of producing highly personalised memorials requires tremendous skill, from the designers to the craftsmen, and in this regard, Hull-based Odlings set the standard. On your visit, you will see all stages involved in the creation of a memorial, from the initial ideas behind it, the factory work involved in the creation of the stone to the addition of design work, and even the gilding using 23.5 carat gold.
