Miss Nellie Snookers has scored another triumph. She is the first foundry owner to erect an enamelled works-building. When she decided to instal a new enamelling plant at the Gayway Foundry at Eastbourne, the question arose as to what type of building should be erected to house it. The works suggestion box provided many novel ideas, none of which was adopted, however. Miss Snookers herself made the final choice. ‘‘We are to put down a plant for vitreous enamelling. Let us demonstrate to the public that we have faith in the properties of our own enamel. Let us, in short, put up an enamelled works. It will be unique; it will be good publicity.’’ ‘‘And it will be darned expensive,” added Wilfred, chief foundry foreman.
