  • At the death of Job Ridgway in 1814 the business passed into the hands of his two sons, John and William, and, on the retirement of William, the concern was carried on for many years under the sole management of Mr. John Ridgway. 

  • In Mr. Brown-Westhead and Mr. W. Moore became associated with the firm, and from then to the 1890's the business increased six-fold.
