Wallpapers and metal sculpture - there seems to be a connection with William Morris and Co but not sure what it is precisely.

1984 William Morris was an old established firm, specialising in metal sculpture and wallpaper. Merged with wallpaper manufacturer Peterlee[1]. Reverse take-over of Ceylon and India Planters' Holdings to gain a listing on USM[2].

1984 Acquired Leyland Paint and Varnish Co[3] - this seems to have been only the wallpaper part of the business[4]

1988 Reverse take-over by Sherwood, a private furniture maker[5]; the overall company was called Lincoln House[6]
