Lander's Factory in Arter Street
- Thread starter alanr
- Start date
From directories, Artur St was not their first site. Possibly their factory suffered from bombing. They did put a small advert in the 1946 Kellys (below), possibly to emphasise their new address:
In 1913 firm is not listed.
1917-21 Lander A. & J. metal spinners, 197½ Gooch street
1932-37 Lander A, & J. aluminium hollow ware manufacturers, 197½ Gooch street.
1938 Lander A, J. & Sons aluminium hollow ware manufacturers, 197½ Gooch street
1939-40 Lander A, J. & Sons, metal spinners 197½ Gooch street
1943-64 Lander A. J. & Sons metal spinners 5-7 Arter St
1965-69 Lander A. J . & Sons Ltd. metal spinners, Stanhope st 12.
1971-73 Lander A. J. & Sons Ltd, scrap metal merchants, Stanhope st 12.
Kellys finishes in 1973

Spot on Phil. However they are not listed in everyb year under the commercial names section, only in the street section, and that is how I missed them. They must be related (a son possibly), but the differing titles of the companies presumably mean they were separate to Arter st:
1950 – not listed
1955-56 Lander A. J. metal spinner, Larches pass 12
1962-5 Lander A. J. & Co metal spinners, Larches pass 12
1967 - gone
1950 – not listed
1955-56 Lander A. J. metal spinner, Larches pass 12
1962-5 Lander A. J. & Co metal spinners, Larches pass 12
1967 - gone

Have checked in case they were missed out by accident. they are not listedin 1967,1969 or 1971. The number of firms listed is only 2 in the first of those two years, and by 1971 there is only BWB Engineering, tool makers. They do not have to be in Kellys though, and if the fimr was running down, maybe they didn't think it was worth it for their last years.

We lived at no 10 Arter Street and Landers Spinning Factory was almost opposite at nos 5-7. The Electoral Registers for 1950 and 1955 do not have entries for 5-7 Arter Street. However the 1950 Electoral Register (qualifying date 20 Nov 1949) shows Alfred J Lander living next door to the factory at 9 Arter Street. Was he a relative of yours?

Hello jennibean
My daughter has started to investigate her family tree and forwarded me your posting.
Although this is now 8 years later, I wonder if you might find the following useful:
AJ Lander (Alfred John) was my husband's grandfather, proprietor of AJ Lander & Sons. One of his sons, Leonard, took over this business.
Another son, also called Alfred John, my late father-in-law, set up his own metal-spinning business (A J Lander) located off at Larches Passage, in a premises in a bombed-out factory. My husband, Roger A J Lander, worked here with his dad in the '60s, before pursuing a different career path. (Roger's elder son is also an AJ; there seems to be a Lander tradition to give one son the initials AJ).
Co-incidentally, my daughter's middle name is May, after both of her grandmothers - my mum and Irene May, wife of Alfred John. Her first name is Jennifer!
If you are still a member of the forum, it would be wonderful to hear from you.

We also lived at number 10 Arter street, before moving to the shop on the corner with my mom & dad (Tatlow family) which was 65 Sherbourne Road.
