Westgate Hill Cemetery, grave of Caleb Angas

Caleb Angas (1742-1831) was a coach maker and industrialist. He studied coach and carriage manufacture in London. In 1780 he opened a business in the Bigg Market. He imported mahogany and other timber from British Honduras on his own ships. The business became the largest of its kind outside London. His youngest son, George, emigrated to Australia and had a town named after him (Angaston). Caleb Angus also owned a copperas factory in the Lower Ouseburn which made sulphuric acid for the soap and glass industries. His grave monument has a square urn on top of it.
