Description: | Price's Patent Candle Company used this trough in its Battersea factory. It would have been placed in a trolley and used to move wax around the factory floor. Price's opened its York Road factory in 1847, and by 1900 the firm was producing 130 different types and size of candle. The Battersea factory covered 11 acres and included a paraffin distillery and a light railway system for moving goods around. Its riverside location also provided a constant supply of water for the manufacturing process. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1931-1960 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
