Christie's Foundry
Does anyone know anything about Christie's Foundry (also known as Accrington Foundry)? It existed in the 1850s, but for how long? Who set it up? Alexander Christie? His son John? And are there any records relating to it??? I am (still!) researching the Blake family, and am trying to find out about John Blake's early career, before he set up the Oxford street works. He apparently worked at Christie's around 1857ish.
Any info gratefully received. |
