Does anyone have any stories, memories or photographs relating to the old Welsby stomemason yard in Stockton Heath, Warrington?
it was originally where the small square of shops is now, in the "Forge" shopping centre. (which was incorrectly named after the old Spade Forge which was originally further back, behind the stonemasons)
Any information would be very much appreciated.
The guy who owned it married my great-grandmother's sister. very thin connection to myself, I know, but my family was quite big in Stockton Heath during the first half of the 20th Century and therefore I'm researching all of the Stockton Heath connections.

It states the company was started in 1930 by an Italian - the Grassi family ...did your g grandmothers sister marry a Grassi ?? if so you are in luck...the co owners are both male Grassi and names and phone numbers are on the website

Hmm no his name was Welsby
I'll check with my father to see if he was in partnership or worked for or sold out to any Italian gentleman....
thanks for the information.
-
Just to confirm, I emailed the company in Liverpool and they say they are a different company and they have always been in Liverpool, since 1930. They say they haven't been based in Stockton Heath.
still, it was worth me checking. thanks for the heads up!
anyone else remember the masons in Stockton Heath?
