Antique 1800's ASHBERRY  EP(Electro plated) A1 Soup Laddle Rd669370

21cm in Length

This company was established in 1829 by Philip Ashberry, a spoon maker, who had been born in Leicester in about 1807.  He was based in Copper Street, but eventually crossed over Gibraltar Street into Bowling Green Street, near Kelham Island.  In 1849, an advertisement in the local directory illustrated Ashberrys Britannia Metal Works & Public Rolling Mill as a maker of spoons, tea, and coffee pots, and rolled tin.  Despite the grand engraving, the works was apparently a ground floor metal shop with a small furnace,  a first floor for cutting horn scales with small circular saws, and an attic workshop for buffing spoons.  In 1851, most of Ashberrys workforce was female (18 men, 7 boys, and 48 women and girls).
