Description: | At Stourbridge, Thomas Webb; Benjamin Richardson; and William Haden Richardson entered into partnership in 1829 to form 'Webb & Richardson' at the Wordsley Flint Glass Works. In 1836, Thomas left the partnership to found 'Thomas Webb & Sons'. The third Richardson brother, Jonathan, then joined the firm, which became known as 'W. H., B. & J. Richardson'. By 1852 this name was discontinued, and in 1853 it carried only the name of 'Benjamin Richardson'. By 1863 it became 'Hodgetts, Richardson & Pargeter'. Pargeter left the firm in 1871 and the name changed to 'Hodgetts, Richardson & Son'. Benjamin Richardson retired around 1882, and died in 1887 at the age of 85. The Company was later taken over by Henry Gething Richardson, and became 'Henry G. Richardson' in 1892. He then set up a partnership with his sons Benjamin & Arthur in 1897, and called the Company 'Henry G. Richardson & Sons'. This company was taken over by Thomas Webb & Sons Ltd. c.1930, and moved to the Dennis Glassworks. The Richardson name was still occasionally used by them until the late 1950s. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Dudley Archives | Rights holder: | Dudley Archives | Subjects: | Glass manufacture | Temporal: | [early 1870s]-1959 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
