The Story of Bailgate
Shaped by the Past, Made for the Present
We’ve always believed in the power of heritage and the story our brand holds at its roots.
Established in 1971, in the heart of Lincolnshire, England, our designs are often inspired
by the landscape and legacy of our beginnings.
The Bailgate Collection draws its name and inspiration from one of the most historic
and iconic areas in Lincoln.
Much like its namesake, the Bailgate Collection is a fusion of heritage and modernity. The subtle stepped detailing surrounding the tactile rectangular bar speaks to refined craftsmanship, while the striking square clasps create an impactful detail.
Why The Bailgate Captured Our Imagination
Set within the Cathedral Quarter of Lincoln, the Bailgate is home to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including Lincoln Cathedral, Steep Hill, and the Medieval Lincoln Castle. The narrow-cobbled streets, vibrant with independent shops, lively cafés, and bustling restaurants, are rich with a sense of tradition and culture.
Wandering through Bailgate is following in the footsteps of Romans, Normans, and generations of locals and visitors who have shaped the area’s spirit. Newport Arch, a Roman-built gateway, still stands, an enduring testament to time and resilience.
It is from this unique blend of ancient architecture and contemporary life that our Bailgate Collection draws its soul.
Lines That Echo Lincoln’s Legacy
The form of our Bailgate Collection mirrors the structured rhythm of the Roman roads that once ran through this very part of Lincoln. The precise geometry and stepped contours are reminiscent of the strong foundations upon which the city was built.
Much like the evolution of this area, our Bailgate Collection is designed to be a part of your home’s ever-evolving story. A collection that embraces character, detail, and a deep sense of place.
Whether used in a contemporary space or one with more traditional leanings, the Bailgate Collection brings a touch of the historic and handcrafted into any interior. For those who appreciate the stories behind the objects in their home, this collection offers
both beauty and meaning.
