I am interested in the history of the Welch Coach Manufactory of 19 Pillory St. Nantwich, particularly trade adverts catalogues photographs customers etc.
From about 1850 to 1885 the business was run by brothers William of Mill street, and Henry of Beam Street, who employed family. and in 1913 a Henry Welch carriage maker was at that address. I have the family on 1861-1891 census, but am particularly interested in business history, or where I can find same.Nantwich museum could not help.
Anything to point me in the right direction most welcome.
Many thanks
Sheila
