Kirkpatrick
Their business was founded by William Kirkpatrick, Esq. J. P. (1817-1887) in Walsall in 1855, and carried on for many years in his name and direction.
His son, Vincent Kirkpatrick, succeeded his father and presided over the incorporation of the business as a Limited Company in 1901. Upon incorporation, many loyal and long serving employees were given a shareholding, starting a tradition which continues to this day. 
Many of the descendents of those first shareholders still retain their interest in the Company and the Kirkpatrick family still also retain a shareholding.
Much of their black iron door and window furniture is based on patterns (designs) used by their foundry since its inception in the 19th century. their workforce today uses essentially the same finishing and assembly techniques as back then, which have been handed down and refined through generations.
