The memorial inscription above the list of names reads "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THESE WORKS WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919" with a further addition for WW2. The name of "these works" is not stated but the UKNIWM entry http://www.ukniwm.org.uk (ref. 42850) reveals it to be Brunner, Mond & Co.
