Victoria Foundry - Paragon Foundry
Victoria Foundry
later the Paragon Foundry, Victoria Road
This page began
when I was sent
a photograph of
a manhole cover
(see Gallery)
that sits in the
car park of the
Quicksilver Mail.
There is very little information concerning Fisher & Swain, or the Victoria Foundry. Indeed, the only reference I found was an advertisement placed in the 24 April 1925 edition of the Western Gazette in which Fisher & Swain, Engineers of Victoria Road, were advertising motor parts.
It would seem that the name changed from the Victoria Foundry to the Paragon Foundry during the mid-1920s. It was sold off in the late 1950s and by 1960 was the premises of Victoria Engineering Co (Yeovil) Ltd. of the Paragon Foundry.
There is no information beyond 1960.
