I am the great grandson of Harry Kilner who founded lion fireworks. As a kid I used to pack them on a saturday morning with my father. I am looking at wrting the history of fireworks in Lepton so photographs like this are great to refer to. I remember all the ones on the dummy sample above (I’m 53 so I should…!)
Currently live in Saudi Arabia so writing history is a bit fragmented.
Regards,
Nick
