Hello, Thank you for the replies, and for the highly amusing battery jokes. I do indeed mean batteries in the 'small electrical unit' sense of the word. Although your 'battery mill' sounds much more interesting. Jenny at Tyne and Wear sent the following link to an article on battery factories that might be of interest to others out there; www.independent.co.uk/news/business/assault-and-battery-the-fall-of-the-ever-ready-empire-a-classic-tale-of-british-decline-by-david-bowen-1494225.html<http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/assault-and-battery-the-fall-of-the-ever-ready-empire-a-classic-tale-of-british-decline-by-david-bowen-1494225.html> Clare From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of CARLISLE, Philip Sent: 04 February 2013 11:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Battery factories? Hi Rod, The mill you have sounds like a "Mill incorporating water-powered hammers for beating brass sheet, etc. into vessels, pots, etc." which is the EH definition of BATTERY MILL. Is what Claire wants to record "a factory for making batteries" (of the chargeable type)? Methinks we need some clarification.

We have a scheduled Brass Battery Mill at Saltford which had quite a lot of work done on it during the 1990s (as part of a restoration program). Well before my time here, but if you contact me off-list I can send you what we have.
