The Holoware Factory presses were used to press shell cases of many sizes, some of the presses were purchased by the MOD and later used to press washing machine tubs. There was a exhibition case of the shells on display until new owners of the company " Caradon" decided to remove all traces of the name Curran and its history. In my opinion this was an absolute disgrace !
Currans were a family owned group on companies. Founded before the first world war they contributed to the British war effort during both wars. They also made steel shell cases for the US Navy during the Viet Nam war. Currans Cartridge Factory (CCF) which made shell cases for the Army and Royal Navy was as with their holloware factory which manufactured pots and pans, enamel bowls, tea caddies etc located in Hurman Street. The site upon which the factories were located was during the late 90's and early 2,000's replaced with housing and flats. Currans Admiralty Factory and its' attending Brass strip mill / foundry, which made both brass and steel shell cases for both the British and American military was located in Curran Road. The building still remains and although dilapidated is now multi occupancy. This factory as with the CCF did during the second world war employ female workers, who in addition to the locals were bussed in many miles from the Welsh Valleys. There were also many smaller and larger factories within the Curran Group, such as Currans Foundry Division which made Tank tracks and the associated pins. John Curran which although independant made aircraft parts and test gear. Sadly the group is no more
