The following letter, article and photographs were recently sent to us by Anthony Broomer.I have printed it in full as it is very informative indeed.
Anthony is the Grandson of John Broomer who we have mentioned previously on this blog.
I hope you can read the family trees - I'm afraid I can't make them any bigger to show on here. If you have trouble,click the image which should make it bigger,fingers crossed.
I'm sure you'll find it as interesting as we did ! 
Thanks so much for sharing it with us, Anthony.
It's wonderful to get some proper history behind one of Hydes' long disappeared firms. :)

Superb post.
I wonder if the double-photo of the outside of the factory is available in a more close-up versions?
I would love to see the detail of the building and its surroundings.
