Built to serve.Made to belong.

A bus shelter becomes part of the everyday experience of a place. It should make waiting more comfortable, respond naturally to its surroundings and continue serving the community long after the wider project is complete.

Littlethorpe works with parish councils, local authorities, architects, planners and housing developers across the UK to create hand-built hardwood bus shelters for villages, new neighbourhoods, heritage settings and busy public spaces.

By combining traditional joinery with clear specification support, we help project teams deliver infrastructure that works reliably, ages well and makes a positive contribution to the area around it.

A Part of The Bigger Picture

The quality of service and craftsmanship of each shelter Littlethorpe supplied has been second to none; a higher standard than we were able to find elsewhere.
