View of entrance to the business in the village of Stretton on Dunsmore which is run by Jay Curzons. Shot of him assembling a reproduction spiral staircase from aluminium. Peter Plant talks to Mr Curzons, who explains that he wanted an original cast iron spiral staircase for his own home and found that they were expensive and scarce so he went into business making reproductions from lighter aluminium. We see the original cast iron staircase in his own home and stages in the foundry process showing how the pieces are made using sand casting and molten aluminium. He describes the process and the challenges.
