Robert Stevenson and Brother
From Graces Guide
of Manchester
- 1897 Partnership between Robert and Anthony Stevenson, textile and leather belting manufacturers, 4 Chapel Walks, Manchester, was dissolved by mutual consent [1] The address indicates office premises, not a factory.
- 1900 'The Engineer' reported on 7th September that Robert Stevenson & Brother were supplying two of their 'Phoenix' brand sewn cotton duck belts for carrying purposes in the mines in French Guiana. One of the belts was 60" wide and 114 ft long, while the other was 48" wide and 78 ft long. Their address at that time was 7 Bridge Street, Deansgate. This was at the western end of Bridge Street, on the north side of the street. Goad's Insurance Plans Manchester Map No. 14 shows this as a Leather Warehouse with a ground area of only 20 ft by 10 ft, so presumably manufacturing was not done on a large scale there.
- 1903 F. Reddaway and Co Ltd took legal action against Robert Stevenson & Brother Ltd and Anthony Stevenson over the use of the wording 'Camel-hair Belting' [2]
