Hello all,
I'm trying to find out what company may have manufactured the cast-iron girders frequently used by Martin and Chamberlain / Martin and Martin in their buildings. I'm specifically interested in the School of Art ones but have a hunch that they probably used the same supplier for the Board Schools they designed (and other non-residential properties) as the design of the girders looks similar (the manufacture period is something like 1870-1900 (around 1880 for the School of Art)). These sorts of girders often have the manufactory cast into them but the ones I have investigated close up have no sign of this.
I attach a photo in case that may help.
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you,
Stuart
