    The Kilner Company was taken to court in 1871 over the coal smoke coming from their Thornhill Lees chimneys and the judge ordered that "no man has the right to interfere with the supply of pure air". The company was forced to close down to convert to gas furnaces and struggled along for 66 years despite 3,000 people losing their jobs.

      My brother in law's grt,grt, g-father was a hugely successful man and his estate included,(besides, several properties), a 6-8% share in Standard Oil Co (Exxon Mobil), BAT, Unilever and either, ICI or Johnson & Johnson. That's surely a 50-75 billion in today's values.
