I am researching the history of the GREAT WESTERN BRASS FOUNDRY of JAMES CARTLAND AND SONS who operated a brass foundry from 1823 - 1955 on 68-72 Constitution Hill. I am looking in particular for any old photographs of the foundry there may be. It subsequently became a CHEMICAL ABRASIVE WORKS and any information on this including photos would be most helpful.
Thanks
Nigel Horrell
 
Some information on this SITE and also a little bit on the Cartland family on my own website B14
