A few years ago I came across an Observer cutting ( cannot tell you the year) It told of the Emms family, who were in business as ironmongers I think, but might have been something employing more people. They had received a patent for something like a firegrate. It was going to make their fortune and they threw a big party to celebrate.I think the library will have details of the patent, and perhaps have the cutting.
