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

  1. 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.
