Chester had its own iron foundries, so this cover has come a long way from home. Glenfield & Kennedy Limited Kilmarnock are still trading. Kennedy Patent Water Meter Co. Ltd. was formed in 1863, later they started another Co. of Glenfield Co. Ltd. in 1865. The two companies were merged in 1899, to form Glenfield & Kennedy Limited, which became the largest company of its type in the commonwealth.
