Can you provide any references on the history of De Winters engineering works i. e the Union works when they were producing steam engines
Many thanks
V John

All the information that you require can be found in a booklet (36 pp) called "De Winton's of Caernarfon 1854-1892" ISBN No.1 874786 31 3, written by Prof. Lewis Lloyd and printed by Gwasg Pantycelyn, Caernarfon in 1994.

Otherwise you may be able to get a copy from Mr. Rhys Prytherch, Ty Fry, Constantine Road, Caernarfon, Chairman of Seiont II Museum, for £2 plus p&p, or you can try also the Gwynedd Archives, Record office, Caernarfon.

Best of luck!
