They began in and around Pontefract, where they mostly worked, though there is indication that the first Farrers learned their trade in the Halifax area, perhaps under the Ogden family. The first Farrers, Abraham and William, were working in Pontefract by the 1690s. These were no country clocksmiths. They were highly proficient, fully conversant with the best London practices and styles of the day and were quite capable of making top quality clockwork. They were followed by three or perhaps four more generations each with numerous practitioners of the craft. Joshua Farrer, born at Pontefract about 1771, also worked in Doncaster and died in 1838.
