Makers mark of Hincks and Burnell

The company produced stained glass windows in the East Midlands from around the mid 1920s. Their makers mark was a crown, with HHB Nottm. When Hinchcliffe left the firm in 1935, the company was renamed Hincks and Burnell and the makers mark was changed to a crown with H&B Nottm.

Originally based at 23 Heathcote Street in Nottingham,[1] the company moved in 1932 to Hermit Street in Sneinton, Nottingham.[2] where it stayed until after 1941. In the 1950 Hincks and Burnell was formally dissolved,[3] and Horace Hincks continued on his own based at 50 High Pavement, Nottingham.
