These correspondence files originate from Bennett and Sayer, a Derbyshire-based firm based at Derby which manufactured metal clay-working equipment. Correspondence files were distributed to other record offices, and these files relate to business which Bennett and Sayer conducted with Doncaster-based brick manufacturers and other local firms.
