John Bolding
John Bolding and Sons was established in 1822 by John Bolding. It began as a brass foundry merchants, but by 1871 the firm had evolved into the sanitary world.
It began to develop an interest for “improvements in water closets and in valves and regulating apparatus for the same” as quoted in the London Gazette in 1871.
Their David Street showroom displayed modern bathroom units as oppose to the previous Victorian style. In 1963, the Bolding company managed to buy their competitor, Thomas Crapper & Co.
However this ultimately fell through and the Bolding company became obsolete and Crapper’s business is still producing bathroom fittings to this day.
