Brown Lenox & Co Ltd
Brown Lenox & Co Ltd was a company that created chains (a chainworks) and anchors, with factories in Millwall and Pontypridd, founded by Samuel Brown and Samuel Lenox.
==Early History==
The company was started by Samuel Brown, initially called Brown & Co Ltd, following his patent on a stud-linked wrought iron chain that was suitable as a ship's anchor cable, and began manufacturing in 1803.〔('Brown, Lenox & Co. Ltd, chainworks, Pontypridd records: Context ), Glamorgan Archives website'. Retrieved 16 July 2012.〕 Brown was unable to finance the company alone and so formed a partnership with his cousin Samuel Lenox in 1806, although the company continued to operate under Brown & Co Ltd until 1828 when it was changed to Brown Lenox & Co Ltd. In 1812 a large works was constructed at Millwall, on the river Thames and close to the Royal Dockyard, to meet the high demand. Due to an ever increasing demand a second works was opened in Pontypridd, then called Newbridge, in South Wales;〔(Glamorgan Archives,Brown Lenox & Co Ltd, Records: Context ), Glamorgan Archive website〕 this was to become the company's main chain works. This site provided easy access to the high quantities of pig iron and coal needed in production.〔(Brown Lenox chainworks ), Rhondda Cynon Taff Library Service - "Our Past".〕 The new factory was established in 1816.〔(Brown Lenox Chainworks; Newbridge Chainworks; Newbridge Chain and Anchor Works, Pontypridd ), RCAHMW website. Retrieved July 22, 2012.〕
Two canal basins were constructed, one for the receipt of raw materials the other for dispatching finished goods. The 20 foot difference between these two basins also allowed the works to be powered entirely through water wheels and turbines. From 1818 the factories also started manufacturing suspension bridge chains.〔
