Description: | Annual accounts and trading accounts of the Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd Hadley Castle Works in Wellington, Shropshire, which manufactured automotive panels, bodies and wheels. There are annual accounts for the majority of the period from 1912 to 1922 and 1937, with a gap during the Second World War years and patchy representation for the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s. There are monthly estimated results for 1939-1940, and trading accounts for 1953, 1955 and 1959. These show the rate of production of manufactured goods, the costs incurred in their manufacture, and the net profit following sale. The monthly results and trading accounts are likely to have been used to inform the annual accounts; similar records are found in the annual accounts sequences described at DB-25/3/1/1 and DB-25/3/1/2. The Hadley Castle Works became increasingly important to the company as the automotive industry expanded from the 1930s, and these accounts show the flow of business through the works as it expanded. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1912-1961 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
