General Refractories
General Refractories is listed in the RCH 1938 Handbook of Stations as having a business at Kidderminster accessed via (or sharing) the Guiseley Silica private siding. The exact location of the siding is not given.[note 1]
General Refractories acquired the Aggborough Moulding Sand and Gravel Quarries from John Williams (Birmingham Sand) in 1929[1]
General Refractories manufactured and supplied "Heat Resisting and Heat Insulating Materials of Every Description" including moulding and silica sands[2].

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ The Handbook reports where sidings were beyond Kidderminster Junction, such as H. Whitehouse's Sand Siding, suggesting that Guiseley's siding was within the confines of the station and goods yard.
