Denham's Engineering Co
From Graces Guide
of Holmfield, Halifax
The firm was started in Halifax in 1899 by William Denham, a cabinet maker and French polisher, as Denham's Patent Bottling Machine Co Ltd. This quickly failed but, after appointing a new director, Sam Sutcliff, the company began the manufacture of machine tools. A third director, a solicitor called W. H. Bookcock, then joined the business and by 1907 the Denham Engineering Company was established. In 1912 a move was made to the "Empire Works" in nearby Holmsfield. Denham eventually merged with Churchill Machines Tools and were absorbed by Tube Investments, and finally became part of the '600' Machine Tool Group.[1]
