Oxley & Sons, Wakefield
F W Oxley and Sons, Monumental sculptors
The firm was established on the Headland in 1864. It was affected in 1933 when the construction of the new bridge over the Calder took away some of its site. But it was far worse hit in 2006-7 when it was compelled to move to make way for the Hepworth Wakefield. It remains a family firm but is now based at 3A Manygates Lane.
