Most sources claim they belonged to Koops. I'm not so sure. Possibly belonged to Elias Carpenter. Apparently he was there first and Koops came later. They were associates of each other. I'm trying to clarify ownership prior Bevington. Koops failed at Milburn.

Printing type was only produced here; the Rotary Casters were manufactured at the engineering works at Willesden.<br />The company continued up till 1906 producing type for the Times at Printing House Square, Blackfriars.<br />The company ran into financial trouble, and was taken over by three business men, on being the Great Grandson of the founder of the Times, Godfrey Walter.<br />The company became the Blackfriars Type Foundry, which closed in 1932.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Hugh Macfarlane (Private Press Printer) KentTudor Black Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420137727470446125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152950892272252636.post-1634740182175896062011-09-08T05:21:14.074-07:002011-09-08T05:21:14.074-07:00I lived at Pearman Street while I was a student at...I lived at Pearman Street while I was a student at the nearby hospitals of Guys and St Thomas'. I wonder if you have any history on this street.Like many areas of London it seems quite "well to do" now but I wonder if it was always so well to do?Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152950892272252636.post-71445750015726546892011-07-18T01:03:49.511-07:002011-07-18T01:03:49.511-07:00Hello

I lived there in the 1960s.<br />I'm currently writing a novel set there - and the Old Vic - in 1963 and you've saved me from making two gaffes:<br />I had confused Campbell Buildings with Peabody Buildings, and I had the obelisk standing in St George's Circus - I knew the thing wasn't there when I was a kid, but I couldn't imagine why it would have been erected since, so I didn't trust my memory.<br />You mentioned the bombing of St George's Cathedral in April '41. Do you know if information on bomb damage in the area is available on-line? I am particularly interested in the bombs which produced the bomb site opposite the Old Vic - now a park, and the ones which hit Coral Street and Pearman Street nearby.<br />Thanks very much for your very informative blog.<br />Mathew HoganMathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765797930038922121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152950892272252636.post-37616954533747523592010-08-01T04:46:25.314-07:002010-08-01T04:46:25.314-07:00Hello Chris

Do you know any more about this man and his company? I am interested to know where this information came from, and if it might contain any more detailing. Any provable connection between Lord Napier and Henry Ellwood is crucial to the history of this great firm of hat makers. Many thanks for your work, here, I am most grateful. <br /><br />Best wishes.<br /><br />Chris Mills. (Hat Historian)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210504417471056756noreply@blogger.com
