How about one of the most advertised companies in Huddersfield?



Henry Brook & Co. Ltd.



If you look at many grate / manhole covers in the streets of Huddersfield, the majority used to have the above name on them. Brooks was a foundry on Colne Road and existed for over 150 years until it's demise in 2002. From 1947 it supplied structural steelwork from it's workshop off Leeds Road which Dual Seal Glass now occupy.
