ArgyllGran Report 15 Aug 2019 21:55

" This industry started when John Rogers from Bradfordbuilt a small foundry just east of Company Mill just before 1827 (WRRD 1827). Unfortunately Rogers soon died and his widow, Elizabeth, sold the foundry to Charles Haley, Jonas Haley, George Taylor and Joseph Butler in 1830 (WRRD 1830). Jonas soon left the partnership probably to continue to work an existing foundry (Parson and White 1830). In 1838 Haley’s business was said to be in the Pudsey part of Stanningley (White 1838). In 1834, the three remaining partners of Stanningley Iron Works appointed a young man, only twenty-four years old and called Joseph Pitts, as a book-keeper (Grace’s Guide 2017)"

"Shortly after, in 1838, Joseph Butler became the sole owner of Stanningley Iron Works but both Joseph Butler and Joseph Pitts were running the business (WRRD 1838,1841,). Joseph Butler and his family, including his son John, lived at Pog Farm, Stanningley where Joseph farmed (Census 1841). Joseph Butler and co. was also the owner of a Stanningley stone quarry and a wharf on the Leeds and Liverpool canal at Kirkstall for many years up to at least 1871 . . . "

"It is not known when Joseph Butler’s son John started work at Stanningley Iron Works, but in the 1851 Census he is described as an iron founder engineer. Joseph Butler retired in 1851 (Grace’s Guide 2017). "

Possible George Taylor had died before 1841?

"1838 Previously Butler and Taylor - on the death of Mr. Taylor, Joseph Butler carried on the business. With his son they started making iron bridges, the first for the Leeds and Selby Railway. They also made the ironwork for the roof of the station at York, and for numerous other large structures...."
