1916 Obituary [3]
FRANCIS HENRY LLOYD died on January 5, 1916, as the result of an accident at Darlaston, at the age of seventy-one. He was the youngest son of the late Mr. Sampson Lloyd, J.P., of Messrs. Lloyd, Foster & Co., and after leaving college he took an active part in the control of that business, having charge of the Bessemer Steel Works.
The business of Messrs. Lloyd, Foster & Co. was transferred to the Patent Shaft and Axletree Department in 1867, Mr. Lloyd remaining in charge of the Bessemer Department until 1874, when he severed his connection with the company. He was for some years connected with the ironworks and collieries of the Darlaston Steel and Iron Co., Ltd., and afterwards built the steel-casting works at James Bridge, of which he was the sole proprietor.
In 1888 the business was transferred to a private company under the title of F. H. Lloyd & Co., Ltd., of which he became chairman.
He was also chairman of the Weldless Steel Tube Co., Ltd., of Birmingham.
He was an original member of the Iron-and Steel Institute.
