Black and white photo of a large large building. A big sign on the roof reads "F Sanderson & Sons. Carriage Manufacturers". A much smaller sign on the front door says "Motor cars. Repaired, painted and trimmed".
#BusinessArchives can really show how a business needs to adapt to stay relevant. This photo of the Sanderson premises in Derby in around 1905 shows how the carriage makers have added a sign for motor cars to their building.

I have several documents relating to the family business. Here is a reference on headed paper. It was for my husbands grandad as he headed for the US
My husband’s grandad, great uncle and great grandad working at the varnish business c1914 in Bootle From the Liverpool Echo March 1927 “If you inquire of George Patterson, the secretary to the club, he will tell you that the “Spion Kop” at Anfield has, since its inception, been particularly devoid of comfort on a wet day." And so, it was decided to add a roof.. "With the exception of the roof trusses and the four stanchions in the terracing, all of which will, however, be painted with selected local bitumastic rust-proof paint from the Mersey Varnish Company, Bootle, the remainder of the steel is completely buried in the concrete casings.”
