Portrait of Brian Ardill of Ardill & Co., Ridge Works in Meanwood Road. He was born in 1907 and was the third generation of his family to run the firm, which was founded by his grandfather, John Ardill, in the nineteenth century. The company manufactured metal checks or discs using hand-operated fly presses. Brian Ardill died in the 1960s but his wife, Eleanor Mary, or 'Mollie' as she was known continued the business for several more years until it was sold. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Meanwood Road Ridge Works Ardill | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
