Chetham's Library provides us with an example of a letterhead illustrating the Eagle Foundry of Hatton and Bowker showing, in their yard, large weighing scales, sheerlegs, and a variety of their cast iron products, including a steam engine beam, wheels, and gears.[2]. This source also provides examples of two billheads from the period 1810-1819 for William Hatton of the Salford Iron Warehouse, 22, Chapel Street, Salford. The description of his business at the warehouse is that of ‘Manufacturer and Wholesale Dealer in Nails, Tin’d, Iron & Copper Hooks, Bar, Bolt, Sheet, Hoop Iron and Steel, Smiths Bellows, Anvils and Vices, Ironmongery of Every Description’.
