W. Millington and Co
of Summer Hill Iron Works, Tipton.
1848 'The parish of Tipton was last week enlivened by festivities consequent on the marriage of Thomas Lewis Nicklin, Esq., a partner in the firm of W. Millington and Co., Summer Hill Ironworks, Tipton, and son of one of the firm of Crofts and Nicklin, furnace builders, &c. The marriage was celebrated on Thursday at the parish church, the bride being Miss Crofts, of Bloomfield; and on Saturday the works were suspended, and a handsome treat given to the workmen, consisting of roasted sheep, a quantity of beef, &c. and plenty of good ale, in which the poor in the neighbourhood participated. The firing of cannon and merry peal of the church bells accompanied the joyous festivities at intervals during the day, and the works, house, &c. were tastefully decorated with flowers. The whole passed off in the most satisfactory manner, and the day will long be remembered.'[1]
