I was looking for something else about Whittakers and found this! My dad - Tom Barnes - was a senior clerk at the Dowry Street works until he died aged 49 in 1969. The firm made brick making machinery. I now live in North Yorkshire and was at Ravenscar yesterday where there was a Whittakers plant making bricks for the "town that never was". I wondered if they were the same Whittakers? We found a NORI brick there years ago
