About the Book
For 90 years the prefabricated building company F. Pratten & co Ltd was a major employer in the Midsomer Norton area which is situated in a small town south of Bristol in the county of Somerset. The book contains many photographs and covers the history from the start in 1912 to the closure in the mid 1990's. The book includes extracts from some of the old catalogues and memories from some of the ex employees. A selection of aerial photographs taken over the life of the factory clearly shows the developement and growth until the decline started after 1980.

Having spent 40 years working 'on the tools' in the telecommunications industry, I started writing articles for a specialist hobby magazine. Having a personnel interest in Prattens I took on the challenge of putting pen to paper in recording the rise and fall of this company in this my first book.
