Richard Stanway, active 1870s -1905, was a retailer who bought designs from many leading designers and commissioned manufacturers to make them for him. He had briefly been a partner of Benjamin Warner** in 1878 but by 1880 he was trading from his own premises in London and through representatives across the country. Stanway stocked velvets, velveteens, cretonnes, silks and laces, often reselling designs to other retailers both in England and in France. He was a leading supplier of fabrics in the 1890s. ---*George Falkner and Sons, also known as the Deansgate Press, was a firm of printers founded in Manchester in 1843. From 1873 to 1941, their main print works was at 170, Deansgate, Manchester. By the 1890s, they also had offices in London and Liverpool. During the First World War, they designed and printed recruiting posters and Christmas cards for the British forces.--- Enderley Mills were established by Richard Stanway in 1881 on Liverpool Road in Newcastle-under-Lyme. It was contracted by the British Government for the supply of army uniforms. Like most other works of the time the Mills' machinery and banks of sewing machines were run off central drive shafts using a myriad of drive belts. However, unlike many other similar mills, the latter were all "boxed in" making for a much safer working environment for the Mills' employees. Under Richard Stanway the Mills employed approximately 700 staff. Most of these were women. They were paid on "piece-work" rates. During the early 1880s the Mills' employees typically earned from 15 to 20 shillings a week, depending on their skill levels and individual productivity. As a testimony to Richard Stanway's progressive thinking and care for his work force he furnished his Mills' with a staff canteen capable of seating 300 workers which provided excellent meals at cost price. Additionally each worker paid a penny per week for the provision of a works' doctor and medical surgery. The Mills also offered its employees a savings bank and reading room. In 1883 the works even opened a creche run by a matron. Here female employees could leave their children while at work for the nominal sum of a shilling per week. This facility comprised a "cot room", for babies, and a play room for older pre-school children. The babies cribs were connected to the Mills' central drive shaft system from which specialised machinery gently rocked each one of them. In 1883 there were plans by a group of British Army officers to register Enderley Mills as a public limited company with Richard Stanway as its managing director. However, nothing came of the project owing to Stanway's bankruptcy in 1884. Therafter, the business was acquired by John Hammond & Company of Manchester. The Mills provided British military uniforms during both World Wars and in the post war period greatly expanded their product range by additionally making uniforms for police forces and fire brigades for both the British and overseas governments.** Warner & Sons (also Warner and Sons) was a British textile manufacturer specialising in silk for the furnishing industry. It wove the coronation robes for both Edward VII and Elizabeth II and had associations with some of the leading textile designers and artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.
