Description: | 1971.
View of Joseph Street from Jack Lane showing Charles Lightowler Ltd., Tin Box and Canister Makers. Charles Lightowler originally worked for Alf Cooke's printers but he left to start his own business in 1891. Gradually the tin printing business was developed and continued by his brother William. Through the 20th century tin food, sweets and tobacco containers were printed through much of the twentieth century. In 1926 and 1928 Charles sons, Charles and John joined the business. On their deaths in 1960 the firm continued to operate until redevelopment of the area forced closure and this building was demolished. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Charles Lightowler Ltd Jack Lane Joseph Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
