NOTHING ELSE IS A HARTLEY.

We are immensely proud to inform all our visitors that, on August 17th 2007, an original V & N Hartley Greenhouse was sold on Ebay for £510.10p! (Please see ebay-link)

The Greenhouse (see Photos), believed to have been made over 50 YEARS AGO in the early 1950’s, measures 9ft wide by 29ft long and 6ft 8inches in height and was one of the early examples of a Hartley Greenhouse designed and manufactured by Vincent Hartley, the founder of the Company. The Greenhouse, still with its panes of glass, was sold after 11 bids, for £510.10p. Other than properties and antiques what other investments do you know of that, after 50 years of use ( not just locked up gathering dust), will fetch a price more than 5 times its original cost ! We did try bidding for it but some lucky gentleman beat us to it. Good luck to him!

That’s why we say: NOTHING ELSE IS A HARTLEY and we would challenge “any” other greenhouse company to find one of their 50 year old structures that has sold for more than five times its original purchase price ! Do they even exist?
