Beeston Boiler Company

In 1943 it became a public company, and by 1961 was employing 850 people, and was at that time advertising itself as makers of cast iron boilers, garage and greenhouse boilers, hot water pipes, connections and cast iron valves.

Louis Pearson then took on an important role during WWI when the company assisted with the production of munitions, eventually earning him a CBE.

[8] In the 1930s, two Robin Hood boilers were installed to provide horticultural heating in the large gardens at Calke Abbey in the 1930s.

[9] This rare piece of original documentation from 1937 offers a fascinating glimpse into the design, engineering, and care instructions for these iconic heating systems.
