B. Uncles
B. Uncles & Sons of Bradford-on-Avon, agricultural engineers and ironfounders.
The business was founded by Berkley Uncles, and for a time traded under the Berkley Uncles name. He had been apprenticed to George Milsom of Trowbridge Road, Bradford-on-Avon, agricultural engineers and ironfounders, and he took over and expanded the business. In 1911 he took his sons into partnership. He died in 1937 at the age of 79, leaving a widow, five daughters and three sons.[1]
1889 Berkley Uncles took over the business of George Milsom. Milsom had been in business for 30 years, and Uncles had been with him for 18 years.[2]. Milsom had taken over the Trowbridge Road foundry c.1860, after the death of the previous owner, William Coles.
