Brown Henry
John Duxbury was a tackler in Earby and married Sarah Brown. This meant he was uncle to Henry Brown Engineer. JD was a shareholder in the Calf Hall Shed Company and it was through him that Henry Brown got the tenancy of the premises at Wellhouse in addition to his workshop at Earby. This was the start of Henry Brown and Sons in Barlick.

Brown, Henry and Son
Browns liquidated in 1929 and Johnny Pickles who was their foreman, started up on his own by taking over the Wellhouse works. Browns still kept the Earby workshop on. In 1932 Johnny Pickles brought Henry Brown junior into his firm and renamed it Henry Brown Son and Pickles. Henry still kept the shop in Earby, I know it was there in 1938.

Brown Henry
Machinist and Blacksmith, Victoria Mill, 1896. March 1900 took over mechanic’s shop at Wellhouse for a rent of £25 per annum and the firm was there in one form or other until it was demolished in late 80s. They sold out to Gissings at this point.

Brown Henry
Henry Brown went into partnership with a man called Watt who was a small ironfounder at Ouzeldale Water mill on Longfield Lane in Barlick in about 189/1900. Watt died about 1912 and Brown kept the foundry on, rented from Calf Hall Shed Co., until 1928/29 when Browns built the new foundry at Havre Park in Barnoldswick. (It was this that banked H Brown and Son but they paid out 19/6 in the pound and so should never have done it. The foundry was then taken over by George Ashby and was the start of the present much larger Ouzeldale Foundry at Long Ing.
