Edward Manlove and Alexander Alliott were drapers by trade. With J.G. Seyrig they set up a bleaching company and developed a centrifugal drying machine as the Centrifugal Company in Nottingham. [1] This evolved into the firm of Manlove, Allott & Co. Ltd. which was established in 1837. Initially they were based in Lenton, Nottingham but when expansion was necessary they opened their Bloomsgrove Works on Ilkeston Road in Radford, Nottingham.
The company won an award at The Great Exhibition in 1851 for its Centrifugal Washing and Drying Machine.
In 1874 the company developed the first incinerators for the destruction of waste. It was designed and patented by Alfred Fryer and originally called a Destructor. [2]
In 1886 it was incorporated as a Limited Company. By 1891 they were supplying equipment for the Cotton Industry. [3]
The company was awarded a royal warrant by King Edward VII. [4]
In 1914 the company described itself as Engineers, Colonial and General. Specialities: Engines, Boilers, Sugar Machinery, Oil Mill Plant, Power Laundry Plant, Centrifugal Machines, Refuse Destructors. Employees 400. [5]
The company existed until 1959 when it was taken over by the Melbray Group. Manufacturing continued on Ilkeston Road, Nottingham until 1969. The company offices and works have now been demolished and replaced with an industrial park.
This versatile firm made steam trams, one of which was designed by Edward Perrett and demonstrated in 1882 on the Nottingham and District Tramways Company Limited. It was later sold to the Dublin and Lucan Steam Tramway Company.

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of substances contained in waste materials. Industrial plants for waste incineration are commonly referred to as waste-to-energy facilities. Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas and heat. The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic constituents of the waste and may take the form of solid lumps or particulates carried by the flue gas. The flue gases must be cleaned of gaseous and particulate pollutants before they are dispersed into the atmosphere. In some cases, the heat that is generated by incineration can be used to generate electric power.

Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste, or the processing of waste into a fuel source. WtE is a form of energy recovery. Most WtE processes generate electricity and/or heat directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.

The Cambridge Museum of Technology is an industrial heritage museum situated in Cambridge, England. The original building, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, housed a combined sewage pumping and waste destructor station built in 1894. The Museum helps people to explore, enjoy, and learn about their industrial heritage by celebrating the achievements of local industries and the people who worked in them. The large site on the River Cam has green spaces for picnics and a fun, relaxed atmosphere for families. There are audio-visual displays, hands-on exhibits, and children’s activities, as well as traditional museum displays and historic buildings. The Victorian Pumping Station with its original machinery showcases 19th-century engineering and technology. Displays on the forgotten industries of Cambridge reveal an alternative side of the city’s history to the famous colleges. And the story is brought into the 20th Century with exhibitions on innovative local companies in our new Pye building. Featuring Pye and Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company.
