Hannah Ludlam & Son
This enterprise was listed in 1787 as a scissors manufacturer at Cherry Tree Hill, using the trade mark ‘YES’. The apprenticeship records of the Company of Cutlers suggest that Hannah’s husband was named Thomas. In 1790, Hannah dissolved the partnership with her son (George), when she signed with an ‘X’. She apparently abandoned cutlery and may have died in 1800. Hannah Ludlam, ‘widow’, was buried in St Peter’s churchyard on 10 February.
