Summary
[edit]DescriptionHawes, Watering Can Manufacturers, Clapton, 1902.jpg |
English: John Hawes was born near Romford, but spent many years in Mauritius where his wife was born. In 1886 he returned to England and settled in Clapton where he commenced manufacturing his brainchild hatched in Mauritius, a balanced watering can.
www.gardenhardware.com/haws-1.html initially the factory was adjacent to the present Lea Bridge roundabout, almost opposite the address on the envelope (from Mauritius, appropriately) but expansion required a larger factory which was situated appromixately next to St James church in Lower Clapton Road. In the 1920s the firm moved out of London to Bishops Stortford and named the premises Clapton Works. More here The envelope is pre-paid and pre-printed postal stationery. It is not known to me why 10c was reduced to 4c. Glaskyn villas still stand, next to the Medina mosque at Lea Bridge Roundabout in E5 |
