Correspondence files were distributed to other record offices, and these files relate to business which Bennett and Sayer conducted with Doncaster-based brick manufacturers and other local firms.

Subsidiary companies of Yorkshire Amalgamated Products Limited: these brickmaking companies were apparently subsidiaries of Yorkshire Amalgamated Products Limited and shared the same address at Waterdale and later at North Bridge Road, Doncaster.
