THE WALSALL WHEELBARROW COMPANY - Wolverhampton, England
The Heritage: The only remaining company to manufacture wheelbarrows entirely in Great Britain. For over 70 years, they have pressed, welded and painted heavy-duty steel barrows in the West Midlands.
The Verdict: A triumph of stubborn UK manufacturing. In an era of flimsy imported plastic, a Walsall barrow is a heavy-duty, galvanised workhorse built to outlast the gardener pushing it.
Core Products: Galvanised steel wheelbarrows and heavy-duty builder's barrows.
