[QUOTE]Originally posted by Rick A: [QB] In 1871 my ancestor Henry Ashton started the Ashton Valve Company after inventing the POP SAFETY VALVE. It was an immediate success and saved many lives due to the boiler explosion problems of the mid 1800's. Railroads were the main focus of the company although they also supplied all types of steam related parts for Locomotives, marine ships, and stationary boilers. Here's a simple history of the company. https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Ashton_Valve_Co And a little history about Henry Ashton. https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Henry_George_Ashton [/QB][/QUOTE]
