Dixon Hall

The firm was began in the 1850's by Mr. Dixon Hall, the son of the 1st Constable of Batley, Mr. Willie Hall. The founder was firstly a mill and colliery furnisher and ironmonger, selling items such as brattice cloth and detonators to the mines, and steam and fire fighting equipment to the mills. Several of the suppliers with whom he did business are still on the books today. Through the years the firm expanded and diversified and made a number of aquisitions.
