James Jones and Son

of Bury Street, Salford

1850 Advert: 'Lowe's Patent Stench Trap Grate or Grid, for Public Works, House and Yard, Drains, Courts, Passages, Cellars, Sinkstones and other Purposes.
JAMES JONES & SON, having been appointed LICENSED MAKERS of these GRIDS, are now prepared to execute all orders which they may be favoured with, and strongly recommend them to the notice of their Friends and the Public.
The advantages of the Patent Stench Trap or Grates over the bell, syphon, flap, or drop traps, consist in their combining, in a simple, cheap, and compact form, a Street Grating, an Effluvia Trap, a Sediment Trap, and a Vermin Trap, all together. The simplicity of their construction, the ease with which they are cleansed, their durability, perfect efficiency, and cheapness, recommend them to the notice of Corporations, Surveyors, Builders, Contractors, Architects, and all persons interested in the Sanitary Improvements of towns, and to the occupiers of all houses where the drainage ia connected with the main sewers. The late Mr. Joseph Lowe, the inventor and patentee, was for many years practically connected with management of sewers, as Superintending Surveyor to the Board Surveyors of the Highways, and Borough Surveyor to the Corporation of Salford, in which town upwards of 500 of these grids are now fixed.
The Patent Grates are now being used by the Metropolitan and City Commissioners of Sewers of London, the Holborn Paving Board, and the Surveyors and Corporations of the principal Towns and Cities of the Kingdom.
The sizes, weights, and present prices (delivered in Manchester or Salford), are as follows, viz.:— ......
Any larger or intermediate sizes made to order.
