thanks for asking. ord and maddisson where large quarry owners from county durham.they specialised in quarry products for many years,but also in darlington co durham had a steel fabrication shop and made items large and small in cast iorn. darlington had a large repair works for trains,and I think that wagon works and repairs on all rolling stock helped ord and maddisson keep there foundry going as well as farm machinery. now the only other product which went through this crusher was cotton seed cake which was high in protein,this is where I have got part of the name from in the project title. thanks for your enquirey. john .
