Notes From Elsewhere
EDWARD LORD was born on 1st March 1812, being the youngest son of Mr. John Lord of Todmorden, who in 1835 commenced with six of his sons the business of machinists at Clough Walsden, subsequently removing to the Canal Street Works, Todmorden, where the two businesses of machinists and cotton spinners were carried on under the firm of Lord Brothers, of which Mr. Edward Lord was the last surviving member.
It was no doubt to his business aptitude and mechanical skill that the leading position of the firm was greatly due, their business extending to every country where cotton machinery is employed; and his name is associated with some of the most useful inventions in that class of machinery. He also gave his support to every means for the prosecution of scientific enquiry.
He was one of the founders of the Carnforth Haematite Iron Co., and a director of the Norton Iron Co., the Beverley Iron Co., and many other companies in England and elsewhere.
His death took place at his residence, Adam Royd, Todmorden, on 10th September 1875, in the 64th year of his age.
