James Burton & Sons
[2] The business, active until 1926,[3] caught the wave of the cotton-boom following the American Civil War, experiencing rapid growth within the United Kingdom and abroad.[6] He married Alice Hartley (1788–1840) on 23 July 1807[7] and became managing partner at the ‘then celebrated’ Thompson, Chippendale & Co., Calico printers, Primrose Hill, Clitheroe.The three met regularly in James Burton's cellar, experimenting with various methods and techniques[10] which eventuated in the partnership at Primrose Hill,[11] works "which ultimately became the most celebrated in the world in their special line.[10] Indeed, no addition, alteration or improvement connected with the machinery at Primrose without consultation with Burton, so great was Thomson's esteem of him."[8] John Burton, who commissioned Eaves Hall, West Bradford, Lancashire to be built for his use in 1864,[17] inherited majority control of the company though, due to poor health, his brothers Oliver and Frederick ran the mills.
