Thomas Creswick
Mr. Creswick was one of the most active and enterprising paper-makers of the day
1811 Wholesale dealer in paper paste board, drawing boards, etc, of 25 Basing lane, London[1]
1829 Wishing to introduce several new improvements and processes into his manufactory and machinery, and to keep them private for trade purposes, he was anxious to have a steady and skilful constant hand exclusively to himself. He offered he position to Charles Edwards Amos who had been installing the machinery in the mills for him. Amos gradually became Mr. Creswick's engineer, and was consulted by him in all matters concerning the machinery of the mill.
1835 Mr. Creswick purchased the Iron Mills, Wandsworth, Surrey, which had been a rolling mill and foundry. He entrusted to Mr. Amos the adaptation of the old iron mill to be a paper mill, and the moving of the machinery from the Hatfield Mills.
1839 Paper maker/wholesaler, of 4 Chandos Square, Covent Garden, London[2]
