There are entries for this small metal trades business (set up by my great grandfather (HENRY PRYNN TAY, wire tinner/drawer, later BRASS WIRE MANUFACTURER) and his son (HARRY PRYNN TAY) in directories for several years. There is also entry in 1929 phone book with an advertisement at top of the page "Manufacturers of bright drawn, annealed, tinned, copper and galvanized wire in coils and straight lengths, all gauges. Tinned copper wire, steel spring wire and Mild Steel Rounds, etc.".
The business was located at 130 Leopold Street and was apparently sold or taken over by other people sometime in period 1815-1830, anecdotally was taking part or exhibiting in trade fairs into the 50s or 60s.
Would be interested in any information about Leopold Street and its tradespeople, particularly this small family firm. Also any info or photos on the kind of building which originally stood at 130 Leopold. In fact, any info related to this enquiry would be interesting. Thanks, Chris Tay
