This is a great article but I believe that the comment "Chestnut took more than that, poaching Old Town's foreman Henry Wicksteed, for its new factory" is not correct. This should be Dick Wickett instead of Henry Wicksteed. See page 135 of Roger MacGregor's book When the Chestnut was in Flower for more details.
