best wishes, Ian. "There used to be an engineering firm named Boydell's Foundry, it closed shortly after WW2 I think it was after old Mr, Boydell died and the family left the Leigh area I know that one Son Donald Boydell moved down south to Sutton near Wimbledon he will now be in his early eighties but I think he is still alive, I hope this gives you a lead.
