An old advertising sign used by Zan Limited at exhibitions and shows. It dates back to the time when Zan was the trade name used by the original Hovey & Lowther company. Currently on display near the old hoist in the Zan Mill.

Another old sign, this time for the subsidiary company of heating engineers Hopol Limited. The sign was probably designed to be displayed on building sites where Hopol was the heating contractor.

Zan Industrial Park in 1925

2010-02-14T20:33:00.000Z

This is one of the earliest photographs in the Zan archives. It shows the mill building with the old window frames together with two boarded up windows, before the Zan Clock was installed. The hand powered petrol pump is dispensing Pratt's Petroleum. The mill chimney is still at full height, it was later lowered twice to its current size. The three chimneys to the right in the distance belong to one of the old Wheelock salt works alongside the Trent and Mersey Canal - the area is now known as the Salties.

Have you received an unexpected payment from ZAN in your bank account?

2010-02-12T20:59:00.000Z

Unless you are a supplier or shareholder of Zan Limited you will not receive payment from Zan Limited by direct payment into your bank.

In the past solicitors, accountants and executors have found payments on client bank statements marked as payments from ZAN—this will not be from Zan Limited, but may be from Zurich Annuities who sometimes provide a payment designation of ZAN—this is the more likely source of the payment.

Zan Limited 90 Years Old

2009-08-20T09:42:00.004+01:00

Zan Limited became a limited company 90 years ago on the 20th August 1919. It was originally known as Hovey and Lowther when the two brothers Mr RB Hovey and Mr EL Hovey bought the building then known as Wheelock Mills running a chemicals business with Mr Lowther.

The Zan Clock

2009-05-24T22:51:00.009+01:00

The Zan works clock was rescued from the demolition of the Brunner Mond factory in Malkins Bank and installed in Wheelock in around 1932. The Brunner Mond factory was situated about half a mile upstream on the Trent and Mersey Canal, manufacturing various bulk chemicals from the locally sourced brine, materials such as limestone and coal were brought in by narrowboats on the canal and the North Staffs Railway line which ran through the site.

The clock face replaced one of the original window openings in the top floor of the mill building.

The clock mechanism requires winding up each week, a task that has been undertaken for over 75 years without fail. The clock will run for at least 8 days before the weight hits the floor in the room below!

The link between the mechanism and the fingers on the outside. Note the counterbalance to the fingers.

The clock is maintained by J.B. Joyce from Whitchurch Shropshire, an engineer visits each year to oil and check the mechanism. J.B. Joyce are part of the same group that maintain Big Ben.
