Lawrence Hall
of Sandiacre
1833 Lawrence Hall's starch works.[1]
1836 '...Lawrence Hall is the owner of a starch manufactory at Bramcote, a village very near to Stapleford. Near the residence of the plaintiff, there is a small ancient stream, or water course, not more than eighteen inches or two feet wide, which used to be the most salubrious water of any in the neighbourhood round, and was not only good for cattle to drink, but for domestic purposes. The spring takes its rise somewhere below the premises at Bramcote, which are used as a starch manufactory....'[2]
1837 Starch Works built between Lenton Street and the Erewash Canal but only continued in production until 1888, shortly after it had been bought by Colman's of Norwich. The building subsequently became Excelsior Foundry Works, which itself was closed down in 1957.[3]
1866 Lawrence Hall's Patent Starch manufactured only by Gill and Tucker.[4]
