Background
Frederick Jones was a master blacksmith who emigrated from England to Erindale, Ontario where he set up his shop. From this small shop, Fred Jones plied his trade, shoeing horses and making wonderful wrought iron works, using simple forges and hand tools. His works can still be found in the village of historic structures like St. Peter’s Church, a masterpiece that sits high above the Credit River. In the true spirit of Frederic Jones, all the products are hand shaped and forget out of solid steel. Each piece is solid piece heated in a forge until red hot iron is shaped by hand, one part at a time by a master blacksmith. Frederick jones Ironworks offers an extensive selection of historically correct heritage designs by North American masters who plied their trade in a an era when the design and quality of wrought iron was in keeping with the architectural pieces they were embellishing.

Frederick Jones Ironworks offers hand forged wrought iron fence, gates and posts in several traditional designs and heights.
