White & Newton (Furniture) of Portsmouth Ltd
« on: Sunday 30 July 17 19:22 BST (UK) »
I would be interested in any information relating to the furniture company, White & Newton of Portsmouth Ltd (no longer trading). They were in business from approx 1922-1980. Any memories of their early products or later products (1950-1980). They seem to have been a well known company employing around 300 staff yet there is little documented history. I would be grateful for any information. Thank you.

Hi,

Cannot help with products for White & Newton. However there is a newspaper article in Portsmouth Evening News 12 October 1935 announcing the death of James F White. It would appear that a partnership was formed in 1924 with H F Newton and James F White resulting in the company White & Newton Ltd.
