Worked there in my school hols when it was taken over by Timothy Whites and Taylor.

My grandfather, David Ellis, worked at Cartwrights from 1915 to his death in 1954, at the age of 70. He was recruited from the Midland Railway Goods Yard in Hunslet, Leeds for his knowledge of the railway system. His job was to organise the import of raw materials and the export of finished goods. He lived on Gladstone Road, Rawdon, and went home for his ‘dinner’ every day at midday. I have a photograph of him working in the office which I would be happy to make available.
Note: Mr John Rennie, who appears in the picture of Directors at Cartwrights, invented the Rennie indigestion tablet. He was present at my grandfather’s funeral.
