Victorian Legacy: Heathcoat Factory Logbook

The Heathcoat Factory Logbook

The factory logbook was started in 1898 by Mr William Huxtable, a cashier who retired in 1916 after 71 years service at Heathcoat & Co. In the logbook he recorded daily happenings at the factory, Amory family events, and major national events.
