WICH - Worcester's Industrial and Commercial Heritage
One of an un-numbered series around Worcester city centre that celebrates the industrial and commercial successes the city has had. Suggestions for sites to be added to this list gratefully received as well as information about the already published caches.
Metal Box have long been a world leader in the canning industry. Britain's first beer cans were made here!
William Blizard Williamson came to Worcester from Wolverhampton in 1855 and established the Providence Works three years later; all sorts of articles were made there out of tinplate and blackplate. His son, G H Williamson, carried on the business successfully and was an important and enlightened figure in Worcester life. In the next generation G E Williamson realised the importance of starting a canning industry in Britain, and was a major player in the formation of Metal Box Company and the building of the Perry Wood factory.
