Bronzed baby shoes

My OH has promised to get his friend's first baby's shoes bronzed. The problem is that:-
a) He has no idea where his children's shoes were bronzed, but thinks it may have been in Whitby.
b) He has no contact with his ex wife and therefore can't ask her!
c) Nor ask his kids, now 16,19 and 22, as they would have to ask the x wife to find out! Plus he sees little of them anyway.
d) Has had the shoes for months and is no nearer getting them done.
e) Would prefer it to be done somewhere fairly local so he could take and collect them (can't risk losing the shoes in the post, irreplaceable)
f) Is potless, so can't afford alot!

This is the shoe bronzing place in Whitby, it bronzes practically everything by the look of the website!! They also have 15% off untul June 15th. Couldn't see any prices but I presume every item is different?

One slight reservation though, is that Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast or in the USA? I can't find that bit out
