RichardB Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 In 1911 five steel firms filled the western side of Trent street: Thomas Inman (a family name beloved in educational and other circles) at the Britannia Steel Works; W. H. Shephard, Trent Street Works; J. Shaw and Co., Gibraltar Works; Henry Green and Co., and Crosslands, looking at Wright Brothers, old-established hot-water engineers, and Rider Wilson's cooling table waters on the other side of the street.

madannie77 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hello fozberg. There is a bit more, but not much, about Rider Wilson in this thread. I assume that the building marked Mineral Water Works on Trent Street on Map 67 was the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
