Hobnail / Ammo boot
This hobnail boot is a cast from a model, meticulously worked in copper by Sid Thomas, an engineer at Hawker Siddeley around 80 years ago. On the sole you can see the detailing of hobnails and a repair patch. Hobnail boots were mainly worn by Military (ammo boots) and grounds workers.
Hawker Siddeley was one of the United Kingdom's most important aviation concerns, producing numerous designs including the famous Hawker Hurricane fighter plane that, along with the Supermarine Spitfire, was Britain's front-line defence in the Battle of Britain.
Copper was an important element in aviation as it was malleable, could be stretched into complex shapes without breaking and was a good conductor of both heat and electricity.
This pure beeswax candle is a fun piece of history.

Are your products Vegan?
No is the short answer.
Vegans believe to harvest honey and other bee produced products is cruel, however they often use substitute products that are from very questionable sources (research soy beans, GM soy bean crops, Glyphosate and deforestation).
While it is true selling products from bees for profit is exploitation. we are ethical, bee-centric bee farmers. Our bees take priority when it comes to retaining their honey in periods of poor weather, rain and winter.
We have a whole host of programmes benefitting pollinator health, including wild pollinators.
Can we visit Cox’s Farm
Not without an invitation. Our bees enjoy a habitat free from traffic fumes, pesticides and disturbances. We don’t want to encourage vehicles.
Is honey safe to consume during pregnancy?
It is safe for expectant mothers to consume, however it should not be given to infants under 12 months.
Do you do trade discount?
We don’t offer trade discounts as we are a small, family run business and keep our prices as low as we can already.
