J & H Wilson - the other Wilson's of Sharrow.

In 1833, Joseph and Henry Wilson parted company with their cousins William and George (who retained Sharrow Mills), setting up a rival business at Westbrook Mill.

This remained a family business incorporated as Joseph and Henry Wilson Ltd in 1895. It remained in family ownership until 1953, when its elderly proprietors sold the business to Imperial Tobacco.

We believe the proprietors didn't have anyone to hand the J & H Wilson snuff business over to in the family, after the son of the owner was killed in a RAF flying accident.
