Matthew Boulton was an enterprising businessman. When he inherited his father’s buckle and button business, he decided to expand and, in 1765, the Soho Manufactory was built at a cost of £10,000. In addition to manufacturing Old Sheffield Plate and silverware, he began to produce ormolu, often combining this with Blue John. He was instrumental in the Birmingham assay office being set up in 1773. Until then he had to send silver to be assayed at Chester, some 75 miles away, often resulting in items reappearing at his factory damaged. He was the first to register his mark in Birmingham with John Fothergill, his first business partner. Fothergill had good business connections and helped expand the business abroad and at home. They competed with the London retailers by going directly to the client and undercutting them on price. Some of the designs came from James Wyatt in both silver and Old Sheffield plate. Boulton also was friends with Josiah Wedgwood, together they would go ‘curiosity hunting’ in London, visiting patrons’ collections of classical objects. Such was the success of his business, that at one stage Boulton claimed to employ over 1000 workers and attracted visitors from home and abroad, who would take refreshments after their tour and contribute to the Soho Insurance Society. Boulton established this in 1792 to provide sickness benefits for his workers. In 1775 he set up a partnership with James Watt, the Scottish engineer, and developed the steam engine under patent. He also promoted to partnership the engineer, William Murdock, whose experiments with gas lighting led to the Soho factory being illuminated in 1802. He was interested in natural philosophy and had a telescope mounted on the roof of his home, Soho House. He was the cofounder of the Lunar Society in 1766 and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society. Matthew Boulton died in 1809 and the business was continued by the next generation.

He was previously a partner of Storr & Mortimer. He opened a shop on the corner of Bruton Street, New Bond Street, London, from where he advertised, in 1850, ‘As successor to Storr & Mortimer, Jeweller and Silversmith by special appointment to the Principal Sovereigns of Europe, (he) begs to return his most grateful thanks to the Nobility and Gentry for the kind patronage bestowed upon him and respectfully (informs) them he has recently established a manufactory adjoining his premises, affording him additional facilities in producing Works of Art and making every description of Plate, etc.’. The firm exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 with an impressive display of silver and subsequently appeared in Paris in 1867 and Vienna in 1873. Here Hancocks were awarded ‘solely’ the Emperors’ gold medal for Science and Art in addition to the ‘Prize Medal’. In 1856, Mr Hancock was also granted the prestigious award of designing and producing the Victoria Cross which is still made exclusively by the company today. The firm was restyled Hancock, Son & Company in 1866 on the semi retirement of Charles Frederick Hancock. His son, Mortimer, became partner with Henry Dore and Horatio Stewart. Three years later the company was renamed Hancocks & Company when his other son, Charles Frederick Junior, joined the partnership upon the complete retirement of his father.
Edward Medal (Mines), in silver, 1st Class, Edward VII issue, with bar, and miniature, issued to John Henry Thorne, in original fitted case, together with four photographs of Thorne, one showing ‘The Permanent Rescue Corps’ (Mr J.H. Thorne, Superintendent) with a label to the reverse and a postcard, showing rescuers outside a mine This medal is made even more rare by the fact that John Henry Thorne is only the second person to have received it twice, firstly at the Hamstead Colliery Disaster on 4 March 1908, and secondly at Wellington Colliery on 11 May 1910. The Edward Medal was instituted by Royal Warrant on 13 July 1907 to recognise acts of bravery by miners and quarrymen in endangering their lives to rescue their fellow workers. The original Royal Warrant was amended by a further Royal Warrant on 1 December 1909 to encompass acts of bravery by all industrial workers in factory accidents and disasters, creating two versions of the Edward Medal: Mines and Industry. Unlike other awards, the cost of the medal was borne by a fund that was created by a group of philanthropists led by a leading mine owner called A. Hewlett. The Hamstead Colliery Disaster extracts from The London Gazette 28th July 1908: ‘On the 4th March, 1908, a fire broke out at the Hemstead (sic) Colliery; 24 miners were entombed. The above named miners (together with John Welsby, who succumbed) descended the mine at various times at great personal risk to rescue the miners. They were provided with oxygen apparatus, but were unable to effect their object. His Majesty has been graciously pleased to allow the widow of John Welsby to receive the Medal which would have been granted to her husband.’ Wellington Pit Accident, extracts from The London Gazette 22nd July 1910: ‘On the 11th May, 1910, a terrible fire occurred in the Wellington Pit, Whitehaven, at a point about 4,500 yards from the shafts. Various rescue parties, with great courage and self-devotion and at considerable risk, descended the mine and endeavoured to extinguish the fire and penetrate to the persons in the workings beyond the same. Thorne and Littlewood, fitted with breathing apparatus, reached within a distance of 150 yards of the fire, but were driven back by the great heat and effusion of gases. The others got to within about 300 yards of the fire, working in the smoke backing from the fire. It was found impossible to penetrate to the scene of the fire or to rescue any of the entombed miners. Had an explosion occurred a by no means unlikely eventuality, seeing that the mine is a very gassy one they would undoubtedly all have been killed. Special gallantry was shown by John Henry Thorne, to whom the Edward Medal of the First Class has already been awarded, and by James Littlewood.’ The Miners’ Accidents (Rescue and Aid) Act of 1910, and a subsequent 1911 Report of the Departmental Committee on the Organisation of Rescue and Aid in the Case of Accidents in Mines, recommended the number of rescue brigades to be kept in each mine according to the number of miners employed, size of brigades, knowledge and training, and equipment. Specialist safety equipment was used by pit rescue teams, such as breathing apparatus, stretchers, helmets, and ambulances.

Thorne, Dinas Rescue Station South Western Region In addition to the Edward Medals, some four months after the disaster, forty special medals were struck, twenty-four in raw unpolished gold, sixteen in silver and a further two in bronze.

1974 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 Registration Number: YNK 417N Chassis Number: 1142701128 Engine Number: AR110501 With just one owner from new and with 43,000 miles recorded, this ‘time-warp’ 1300cc Beetle saloon remains highly original throughout.

A 1300cc Beetle saloon, it is finished in Atlas White with black vinyl seats and black carpets. The car rolls on silver-painted steel wheels and retains what are possibly its original 5.60x15 crossply tyres. Cosmetically, the car appears to be extremely original throughout, and generally the overall finish is best described as ‘fair’. Starting impressively easily on our recent inspection, the car sounded very healthy, however, we would advise that potential purchasers inspect the vehicle fully prior to bidding, and we would also recommend that the minimum of a full service and inspection of all parts is carried out due to a period of inactivity and storage. The car is not presently MOT tested or taxed. Paperwork viewed at the time of our inspection included the original Warranty Voucher, Instruction Manual and Service Record booklet.
