History of Whitefriars
James Powell
 bought a glass factory in 1834, in the Whitefriars area of London.  
James' three sons, ArthurNathanael and John ran the factory from 1840. Originally the company made stained glass, and scientific and industrial glass. Whitefriars began making glass tableware during the 1860's. In 1875, Nathanael's son, Harry James Powell, joined Whitefriars, and ran the company until 1919 and created many designs. In 1923, the company relocated to a new factory in Middlesex. Designers at Whitefriars during the 20's, 30's and 40's were Arthur Marriott PowellWilliam ButlerBarnaby PowellWilliam Wilson, and James Hogan. In 1954 Geoffrey Baxter joined the design team, and launched his very successful textured glass range in 1967, which included bark vases, the banjo vase, the Totem pole vase and of course the drunken bricklayer vase. The Whitefriars factory closed in 1980.

Lot 1.  A 1989 Vauxhall Nova Merit, with personalised registration RH1508, mileage 10,000

for Auction 28th October 2020

Estimate £500 - £800






Launched in 1983 to 1993, the Vauxhall Nova represented the first attempt by General Motors European operation to launch a supermini.  With a basic yet classic 3 box styling and with a large range of engines and trim levels Vauxhall attempted to create the perfect Nova to please everyone. The best seller tended to be the 1.2 litre Merit which we will auction on Wednesday 28th October.
