| Description |
Cafferata Brick Cafferata and Company was founded in 1850 by William Cafferata. Born in Liverpool, he was apprenticed in 1827 as a merchant to Thomas Rodick for the sum of £5 in his first year. Later he started his career as a book-keeper and is first mentioned in Gore's Directory of Liverpool 1839, as of Windsor Street, Toxteth. By 1845 he had moved with his family to Oxton Road, Birkenhead, no doubt commuting daily by ferry to Liverpool where he is recorded in Gore's Directory of 1847 as a stock and share broker with offices in Exchange Street East. He continued in business in Liverpool as a broker until 1862. Having been successful in the Liverpool stock exchange, William followed the practice of his contemporaries and cast around for an industry to invest in. His gaze fell on a small company near Newark, owned by the Newark Plaster Company. In January and June 1862, William purchased land and buildings at Beacon Hill, including a newly erected gypsum and plaster mill, gypsum mines and quarries. This acquisition also included a brick works and, strangely enough, a boiler works, which produced some Lancashire and Cornish boilers. The last of these boilers known to have been operating was one of a pair, scrapped in 1920, in the Old Mill at Cafferata’s plant at Newark. The boiler works was subsequently closed down. |
