When Museums Sheffield embarked on the £multi-million redevelopment of its Weston Park museum, it didn’t need to travel far for a luxury doorset manufacturer. As a local manufacturer of individually crafted doors since 1840, Longden rose to the challenge with perfectly suited, bespoke doorsets from its Chippendale and Sheraton ranges.

A Grade II listed building, Weston Park museum is the 2008 winner of the Guardian Friendly Museum Award and was shortlisted for the 5^th Gulbenkian Prize for museums and galleries. With its majestic sweeping entrance and refurbished 1930s foyer, the museum has been transformed into a 21^st century visitor attraction while renewing its status as one of the city’s iconic buildings. 

Longden provided Dorchester 2-panel doors from its Chippendale raised and fielded range and Boston 3-panel doors from its Sheraton flat panel range, to non-rated, FD30 and FD60 standards.  Longden have over 160 years experience of supplying to prestigious projects in the heritage and conservation market including the Patent Office London and Sheffield City Hall.
