Llewellins & James Castle Green BS1




Llewellins & James Castle Green BS1





Some of the staff of Llewellins & James who attended the works-outing to Totnes in Devon. (1938)

At the beginning ot the eighteenth century a small group ot foundrymen and machinists started a business in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, and in 1735 they moved to 81 Temple Street. By 1832, ownership transferred to Peter Llewellin and in 1846 the business moved to Castle Green. In the mid-1850s, the name of the business became Llewellins & James. Following a severe fire in 1875, the Georgian Castle Green premises were extensively rebuilt within two years in the Bristol Byzantine style. By 1889 the company was the largest brass foundry in Bristol and in 1906 it became a limited company.

By the 1930s the workforce was approximately 200 (in 1940, there were only two female employees, both teenage typists) and the company was involved in a varied type of work. At their own premises this included the manufacture of beer pumps, hose fittings, taps, copper milk-condensing tanks (6ft diameter, 8ft high thick), hemispherical copper double-skinned pans used in jam-making, tar and bitumen spraying machines used for road maintenance, tanks called 'mash tuns' used in sauce-making and vats for breweries (at one time the company had a vat department at 41 City Road).

During their quiet periods employees made 'foreigners', such as candlesticks, brass ornaments and jewellery' for their own use. As well as work at the premises, the company was involved in a considerable amount of work away: maintenance work at breweries, pubs, dairies and ships (at Bristol and Swansea docks).

During the Depression of the 1930s, employees only worked two days one week, one day the next. Employees were not paid for holidays or when the premises were closed for its annual shutdown (usually the first week in August). Pay days were on Fridays when the money was issued in a round tin (3in in diameter), with the employee's clock number on the lid.

The names of some of the staff in the 1930s included Henry Wethered (Director, brother of Judge Wethered), Charles Palmer (Director), Norman Driver (Salesman), Charlie Candlin (Coppersmith), Bill Kease (Furnaceman), R. Green-Armitage (Director), Doris Johnson (Typist), Myra Luton (Typist), Len Hawkes (Warehouseman), Ken Pettier (Apprentice Draughtsman), William Caple and the brothers Bill and Jim McKeown.

Work undertaken by Llewellins & James of particular local interest was the repair (or possible recast) of one of the nails outside the Corn Exchange in Corn Street and the casting of replacement quarterjacks which flank the clock on Christ Church in Broad Street.

Llewellins & James operated an unusual form of employment - when the company was asked to quote a price for a job, the Director responsible would ask particular senior employees to give their price and the job was awarded to the successful senior employee, who then 'employed' the relevant staff to do the job.

Within the Castle Green premises there was living accommodation for the caretaker, who at the time of the blitz in November 1940 was Charlie Lovell (his brother, Tom, and two sons, Gordon and Douglas, also worked for Llewellins & James). This was above the haulingway off Cock and Bottle Lane (opposite the Star pub), the entrance being through a separate door next to a double-wooden door entrance to the foundry. Beyond this door was a hallway with stairs which led to the accommodation (three bedrooms, lounge, dining room, kitchen and bathroom) on the first and second floors.

From here there was the access to the whole roof area of the main building and you could overlook Castle Street. It was provided rent free, gas and electricity also being included free of charge.

Like many buildings in Castle Green the outside of the premises of Llewellins & James never appears to have been photographed, only tantalising glimpses of parts appearing in pictures of other buildings. From these glimpses, old plans and the recollections of former employees, it has been possible to piece together orthographic elevations which represent, as accurately as possible, the building in 1940 — In 1940, each floor of the premises was occupied as follows:

Basement — This contained the foundry, a large steam-driven engine (which drove machinery on the floor above) and a stockroom. Two wells, which originally belonged to Bristol Castle, supplied water used for cooling the molten metal. The ceiling was just above ground floor level and there were small windows (above 1ft high) which, outside the building, were at pavement level, enabling people to look into the basement (they were protected by metal grilles or bars). Rats were plentiful in the basement and it was not unusual for staff to encourage them into the molten metal!

Ground - The main entrance was in Castle Green, two large sliding doors allowing vehicle access. All staff entered here, the clocking-in machine being near the sales office on the left. There was also an entrance in Coc

“…The five floors are ordered sequentially to provide for (1) maintenance and motor testing (2) engine machining and body assembly, (3) gear box and differential steering, (4) spraying, upholstering, suspension and differential steering, (5) lorry production and (6) testing. This last takes place in the open air, on the roof where a banked reinforced concrete racetrack has been provided, on an area measuring 1680 feet by 260 feet. At the ends the banking to this track rises some 15 feet in 55 feet and this activation of the roof, together with its highly sculptural form was to inspire Le Corbusier’s conception of the roofscape for his Unite apartment block built at Marseilles in 1952.”

“…this is a pioneering work in the application of reinforced concrete construction to an industrial plant. It was designed significantly enough by a naval engineer. Accommodating some 6,000 workers in 16,000,000 square foot of floor space, it was an undertaking of unprecedented size. From a structural point of view, however, the most remarkable innovation was the helicoidal car ramps at either end of the block which were braced by an extremely elegant system of reinforced concrete ribs, a system which in retrospect recalls the theoretical projects of de Baudot and seems to anticipate the later realizations of Pier Luigi Nervi, such as his Gatti Wool factory built at Rome in 1953.”

[My grandfather had been one of the few that succeeded in returning home by foot from Russia, after the defeat in WWII... 100000 others died during that walk. Before and after the war he worked here, at the presses, in a work environment that now would be considered homicidal. He died of throat cancer just before my birth... as many others that worked in such an environment.
His wife, my grandmother, was working at the fourth floor, sewing upholsteries...
It is a bit strange for me to see this structure converted in a shopping center, although full of historical references and art... but the world must go on...]

Focused Equipment for TPM Teams Learning Package: Focused Equipment Improvement for TPM Teams (Shop Floor Series)






As distinguished from autonomous maintenance, where the main goal is to restore basic conditions of cleanliness, lubrication, and proper fastening to prevent accelerated deterioration, FEI looks at specific losses or design weaknesses that everyone previously thought they just had to live with. Once your TPM operator teams are progressing with their daily autonomous maintenance activities, you will want to take the next advanced step in TPM training with this book.
Key Features:
a simple and powerful introduction to P-M Analysis
hints for unraveling breakdown analysis
numerous ideas for simplifying and shortening setups
ideas for eliminating minor stoppages and speed losses
basic concepts of building quality into processing
real-life examples from a leading Japanese tool company
Educate and empower all your workers to support your TPM improvement activities with Productivity's Shopfloor Series. Designed for on-the-floor study groups, the TPM Shopfloor curriculum will graduate operator teams from learning TPM basics to studying advanced improvement techniques.
