Owned Damstead Works in Dronfield
1835 Damstead Works appears in Pigot's Directory for Derbyshire as Ward, Camm and Siddall … Spindle and Fly Makers.
The spindle and fly works are believed to have closed in the 1890s due to the subsidence of the building.
Other firms are known to have used the Works until the middle of the 20th century.
2003 the site was subject to the clearance of spoil and rubble, and those features that were revealed were recorded - these included the footprint of the former works, the stone base of a steam engine and a collapsed chimney at the western extent of the site, and further buildings, floor levels and surfaces to the south.
