Re: Ewbank carpet sweepers
My mum used to work at Google Page Rankingestige, and she worked on the ewbank sweepers and people used to smuggle parts out and then build them over a period of time, no wonder they went bust.

Re: Ewbank carpet sweepers
I am late in finding this thread. It was my great grandfather, Richard Walton Kenyon, whose firm Entwisle & Kenyon made the Ewbank Carpet Sweeper. They operated from Ewbank Works behind Cannon Street and St James Street and made the ewbank manmgle, Ewbank Ladder etc before the sweeper which was to become "The Ewbank". See RWK's osn account on the Tivewton museum 'Virtual Victorians' website, or contact me for more recent information.
