Notes for Henry ADKINS Retired to Ley Hill House, Merritt's Hill, Northfield, Birmingham UK. Phil
Preston's research reveals Henry Adkins & Sons, Electro-Plated Wares, of
75 Bath Row, Birmingham. [8]
Contributed in 1866 two chapters to a book celebrating Birmingham
businesses, one describing in considerable detail his company's
manufacturing process for soap, and a second chapter describing their
production of red lead (a paint). The soap mix was tested by the mixer
by tasting it! [95]
The group picture must be very early, at the dawn of photography in the
early 1860s. [95]
