a neighbour of mine,Ivor Owens, now sadly no longer with us, was a pattern maker with Swift and House and he made patterns of wood which were embedded in sand to make the castings for colliery winding whells etc.

My late husband John Horrocks was the great grandson of Mr House. Any information would be useful in my family history search.
