Description:Cornelius Whitehouse & Sons were edge tool manufacturers with works at the Cannock Edge Tool Works on Walsall Road, Bridgtown, Cannock. The company was founded in 1869 and at its height employed over 300 workers. It was famous for its hedgehog logo. After the company went into liquidation in 1967 the buildings became increasingly derelict until they were demolished in 2016 to make way for a new housing development known as Foundry House. This view shows the factory buildings facing onto East Street.
