My G3 grandfather
Sewing machine and bicycle manufacturer, founded United Steel Wire Mill
Had shops on Steelhouse Lane (126, 145 and 3) and Victoria Road from the 1870's to 1890's.
Trade name was the Sanspareil
Eventually bought out by the company that would become Triumph.
Wife Fanny Elizabeth and children William Richard, Walter Munro, Albert George and Fanny Elizabeth.
Interested in any postcards, pictures or maps showing location of his factory or his sewing machines and cycles
