Administrative / Biographical History
The firm of S Higginbotham & Co Ltd was established in 1890 with a share capital of £120,000 shares divided into 3,600 preference shares of £10 each and 8,400 ordinary shares of £10 each. The new company took over the property and assets of Charles Todd & Higginbotham, calico printers, and S Higginbotham Sons & Co, merchants and calico printers. These two firms appear to have been closely related prior to this merger, although S Higginbotham (died 1881) is known to have retired from the partnership of Charles Todd & Higginbotham in 1872. The new company continued as merchants and calico printers until around 1899, when they entered voluntary liquidation. The business was acquired by the Calico Printers' Association Ltd.
