Lediard, Jones and Mortimer
From Graces Guide
1843 Advert: 'FIRE.-On Sunday morning, about six o'clock, a fire was discovered in one of the mills belonging to Messrs. Lediard, Jones, and Mortimer, of this city, dry salters, situated at Chewton Keynsham, and immediately adjoining the residence of Mr. Jones, which burnt with such rapidity that in the course of half-an-hour the entire roof fell in, and nearly the whole of the valuable stock was destroyed. By the greatest exertions the fire was prevented from communicating with the dwelling-house, which must otherwise have fallen a prey to the devouring element. The property was, we understand, fully insured, and tha business of the firm will not suffer the least impediment in consequence of the misfortune.'[1]
