At one point I think things were assembled at Ring as I heard stories from people who had worked there but I eas never sure whether it eas just the odd light fitiing or more than that, hence my question.Are the icecream makers you refer to the ones in Morley? A friend worked there years ago but I never got the name of the company.

The Icecream factory in Morley is Thorntons , Most older "Miggyites" like Myself will remember Harry Thornton purveyor of Ice lollies amongst other things. The factory is run by His son David (see link).http://www.thorntonslollies.co.uk/Kango
