Description
Additional information

Henry Rogers Sons & Company Ltd- This hardware merchant was founded in Wolverhampton by Henry Rogers (1779-1846). His sons by his wife, Ann Grosvenor, were Edward (1808-1845), William Henry (1810-1892), and Henry Jun. (1811-1881). After the founder’s death, the enterprise continued under the surviving sons. In 1857, Alfred Charles Twentyman (1832-1908) – a Liverpool merchant, who had married Mary Anne, the second daughter of William Henry – became a partner. Henry Rogers Sons & Co had offices in Birmingham and London and became active overseas (especially in South America). Cutlery and tools were sourced from Sheffield, where by 1876 Henry Rogers Sons & Co was a file and cutlery ‘manufacturer’ at Atwell Steel & File Works, Pond Hill. By 1883, it was listed as an iron, metal, and hardware merchant in Eyre Street (with Joseph Marrison as agent and later local manager).

William Henry brought his sons – Henry (1840-1933) and William (1842-1906) – into the business, but in 1887 the Rogers’ partners retired in favour of the Twentyman family. The business was evidently very profitable: William Henry left £165,925 (Birmingham Daily Post, 21 April, 10 October 1892); Henry Jun. £160,000; and A .C. Twentyman £87,330. In 1908, the Twentymans registered the firm as a private limited company with £100,000 capital. In the interwar period, Rogers had an office in 80-82 Eyre Street and then Figtree Lane. Capital was reduced to £68,000 in 1939; and after 1945 the firm was not listed in Sheffield. Henry Rogers Sons & Co Ltd was liquidated in 1974. Its marks included a Union Jack and crown (with HRS & Co); a castle (picture); the words ‘ONE RUPEE’; Pegasus (granted in 1791 and also used by Unwin & Rodgers); and ‘DOMINION’.
