1854 Candles Lighting Manufactures Mersey Patent Pool Prices Bromborough
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the Exterior of Prices Patent Candle Company at Bromborough Pool Works in 1854. Nestled along the banks of the River Mersey, the grandiose building stands as a testament to the industrial revolution and the burgeoning candle manufacturing industry. The symmetrical design of the red-brick facade, adorned with intricate stone detailing, reflects the pride and innovation that defined the Prices Patent Candle Company. The large arched windows allow ample natural light to illuminate the interior, where skilled artisans meticulously crafted candles using the latest patented techniques. Bromborough Pool Works, located in the picturesque village of Bromborough, was a hub of activity, with the sound of clanking machinery and the gentle hum of production echoing through the air. The cooling pool, visible in the foreground, was an essential component of the candle-making process, as it allowed the molten wax to cool and solidify before being shaped and finished. The Prices Patent Candle Company was a pioneer in the candle industry, with a reputation for producing high-quality candles that burned evenly and brightly. The company's success can be attributed to its commitment to innovation, as evidenced by the patented methods used in its manufacturing process. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily life of a candle factory during the mid-19th century. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history of industry and manufacturing that shaped the Mersey region and the world at large.
