Agricultural Implements 8 October 1884

James and Frederick Howard, Britannia Iron Works, Bedford; Agricultural Implement Makers. Registered 8 October 1884 (both trade marks).

Bedford Iron Works opened on Kempston Road, Bedford, in 1859, but dates back to 1818. It stayed under Howard ownership until 1932 when it became part of George Fischer Steel & Iron Works Ltd. Today, a housing estate has been built on the site, but the impressive original arched entrance has been preserved there. They exported world wide, including, judging from the trade marks shown, to Russia.
