Showell Origins
Stirchley west midlands souce wikipedia
Edwin Showell and Sons: Showell and Barnes were founded in 1790, in Loveday Street. By 1820 they were trading as Edwin Showell and Sons, manufacturing door springs and architectural brassware
After Edwin died his two sons, Charles and Edwin Alfred ran the company. The move to the Stirchley Brass Foundry in Charlotte Road took place in c1902. The property included an attractive Elizabethan red brick farmhouse, called Ivy House or Nine Elms into which Charles Showell moved. The factory gradually expanded to include the whole site and the farmhouse, which had fallen into disrepair, was demolished.
During World War I they produced 100,000 Enfield oilers for Birmingham Small Arms Company rifles.
In 1956 they were taken over by Josiah Parkes and Sons.[86]
