Found by Michael Fallone at Milton Ironworks during demolition.
These works were founded in about 1856 by McDowall & Co, iron-founders. This firm developed a very extensive business in architectural castings, and the works eventually covered a large area.
This works made many pillar boxes for the Post Office, and also telephone boxes. The firm, by then McDowall, Steven & Co Ltd, had a London office in 1901. By 1968 the buildings were in multiple occupation, and part of the complex was demolished in that year.
