Came across this while researching something else so I thought id try and end the story
John Lumb & Co Ltd Albion Street Castleford
(later United Glass Ltd)
Glass bottle manufacturers 1845-1983
John Lumb and Company was one of three glassworks started by Lumb, Simpson, Brown, Lightfoot and Thomas and William Sykes. In 1950 one thousand people were employed on the site. As 'United Glass', manufacturing glass containers, the company closed in 1983 under a rationalisation scheme and the chimneys were demolished in 1985.
It is commonly accepted that the Roman name for Castleford was Lagentium. It is believed that this translates as "The Place of the Bottles", from the Latin 'lagenae' (bottles or flasks).
