No.313 Crane & Company, Firework Manufacturers, Bristol, Gunpowder Van No.109.
The fireworks factory at Warmley, east of Hanham was started by Isaac Crane in 1887. His brother, Alexander, a Gloucester based coal merchant, had one 7 plank wagon painted to promote the fireworks business, although this style of advertising was frowned upon by the Railway Clearing House.
Crane & Company were well known for their flamboyant displays, including shows for visiting royal guests. They operated until a major fire at their works in 1937.
Certificated, No.127 of 149 wagons produced.
