They were a sister company of '''English Fireplaces (Wimbledon) Ltd''' set up by Ernest Hill Aldam, Kenneth Aldam and Donald Aldam using the '''Galleon''' Trade Mark. The company was established in May 1938 operating from Haslsemere Avenue, Earlsfield, SW18. In September 1953 the company resolved to purchase the former Brickworks in Tolworth as tenants in common with E Hill Aldam & Co for a cost of £30,000 being shared between the companies.<ref>Minutes of Directors meeting held on 14 September 1953</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/File:Im196003IHX-Gall.jpg|title=Galleaon Fireplaces|work=gracesguide.co.uk}}</ref> (The Tolworth Brickworks Company Ltd. had opted to be voluntarily wound up – see above). English Fireplaces and Hillaldam then set about redeveloping the site demolishing existing buildings – there had previously been buildings with 5 chimneys on the site. In 1955 the company became '''English Fireplaces (Galleon) Ltd.''' and in 1979 became '''Galleon Claygate Ltd'''.
