Bradley & Co.
Albion Works, Mount Pleasant, Bilston, Wolverhampton, was founded in 1872,
probably making copper kettles.
Bradley & Co's trade name was Beldray, an anagram of Bradley; the company
name was changed to Beldray in 1977. Their mark was based on a bell on a dray (
= lorry or truck) but sometimes only the name was used. They may have made
copper kettles in the late 19th century but started a wide range of brass and
copper art metal in about 1903, continuing until 1939. The company continued in
Bilston, now part of Wolverhampton, until 2005. (Information from Frank
Sharman).
