Little is known about this manufacturer. The owner was a Thomas Shufflebotham. The
business was known to have been in operation by 1907. In June 1912 there
was a fire at the works. In 1913 the company had financial difficulties
and entered into an agreement with the creditors. It may be that the
business closed soon after this. NOTE:
