At some point the Seel Street foundry was taken over by T. C. Clarke (Liverpool), who continued to produce similar products until 1875.
Note: Today the Epic Apart Hotel occupies 25 Seel Street address, which is at the junction of the north side of Seel Street with the west side of Concert Street. The outer appearance of the Victorian building is consistent with industrial use. On the opposite corner of Concert Street is the large former factory of T. and T. Vicars, now an hotel.
