LEEDS FIRE-CLAY COMPANY’S WORKS
On the conclusion of the Municipal and County Engineers’ conference there was a large addition of members who had been taking part in the Rivers Pollution Section’s meeting, and the whole party, numbering over 120, drove in brakes to the Royds works of Messrs. Joseph Cliff & Sons. The firm, as most of our readers know, is one of an amalgamation of the six old-established private firms, which make up the Leeds Fire-Clay Company, Limited, the other five being Messrs. W. Ingham & Sons, of Wortley, near Leeds; the Wortley Fire Clay Company, of Elland Road, Leeds; the Burmantofts Company, of Burmantofts; Messrs. E. Brooke & Son, of Huddersfield; and Messrs.
