I remember them only in passing on Bracebridge St, but was very surprised to see one of their pumps when I worked for General Foods. I remember looking at the nameplate taken the specifications for a new motor. The part that was significant to me was Aston and I had ridden past their factory a couple of times.

Thank you Richard, for your response. A fellow apprentice, Neville, he has so much memories and information. He will be joining the group soon.

Hello and welcome to BHF. It looks then like Savery are a very long standing and well established company. I wish you well in your research and hope you can share some finding here if you can.
