The 1901 census shows my grandad was living at 49 Durants Road Enfield with his wife and two children. His occupation is shown as Clerk at Electric Lamp Works.
Does anyone know the likely name and location of the Electric Lamp Works?

RE: RE: Enfield, 1901 Census, Durants Road.

To Brian Stockley, The Lamp Factory of which you enquire is most probably the Ediswan Company at Ponders end. There is a chapter devoted to the founders Joseph Wilson Swan 1828-1914 and the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison 1847-1931 with other information and pictures in the book "Londons Lea Valley, More Secrets Revealed. Author Jim Lewis, Pub. Philimore. regards Cliff Raven
