ESSE gets its ‘premier’ with Roger Moore
Smith & Wellstood was acquired by the Ashby family who owned the Ouzledale Foundry Company in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, and expanded its range of products with the Firemaster brand of open fires and dog grates.
Each cooking range and stove was hand built by skilled craftsmen at the foundry, using traditional methods, as indeed they still are to this day.
It was at this time that an ESSE range cooker achieved its screen debut and a 'license to cook' when appearing with Special Agent 007 James Bond in a 'View to a Kill.'
