Ten facts about Marshalls
1. We are proud of our Yorkshire heritage!
Our founder Solomon Marshall (1847-1914) lived in Brighouse with his wife and nine Children. In 1904 he established S.Marshalls & Sons and his first purchase of land at Southowram is still used by Marshalls today!
2. Streets of London
They say the streets of London are paved with gold: it’s actually paved with Marshalls striking product!
In fact, we have paved every square on the Monopoly board.
3. Around the world from Eaglescliffe
Our site in Eaglescliffe, County Durham makes enough block paving in one year to orbit the world 41 times!
Our Edenhall business produces 120 million bricks a year – that’s enough to build 4,800 four bedroomed houses!
