From Graces Guide

Coppersmiths of Shoe Lane, Holborn

Presumably refers to Pontifex (Edmund and William) and Wood who were millwrights in 1841 at this address.


1841 Journeyman coppersmiths withdrew their labour from the factory in dispute over the unrestricted number of apprentices that the firm wanted to employ; Edmund Pontifex declined to change the arrangements[1]
