TV and Radio Aerial manufacturers in the Bristol area

Does anybody have knowledge or recollection regarding the following aerial manufacturers, whose aerials were once very popular in the Bristol area:

Telefield
I had dealings with these from the mid 80s up until about 2002. They were based at 159 Kingsland Road, St Philips, and you could go in and buy any aerial item you wanted - even components.
They were certainly making uhf tv and fm radio aerials from 1967 up to 2002, and the aerials, particularly the early ones were well made, with many still up on roofs.

KA or K&A
This company seemed to be around in the days of vhf 405 line tv, and made traditional 'H' band 1 aerials, as well as band 3 itv ones and combined ones. Also made neat looking corner chimney brackets stamped with their logo. Certainly adound in late 50s / early 60s but don't know where or what happened to them after then.

Anyone know any more?
