I have a small Waterhouse extension speaker. The driver and it's matching transformer appear to be their own make. Written in ink, on the bottom is 5/3000 (The transformer impedances) and a date, 29.9.50. On a paper label is the price, £2/15.

I can't find out anything either, there were many local manufacturers once upon a time, but a picture on Google narrows it down a bit to Dudley Hill, a South Eastern suburb.

Thank you Bill,I guessed they were small and possibly just did extension speakers as well as cabinet makers.
