The Accounts and Letter Books of one local business, Lowe’s Rope Manufactory survive and are held at Bewdley Museum. Using these sources, E M Crowther has composed a picture of its experience in the 19th and 20th centuries. The early history, though, is poorly recorded until 1833, when letter books provide an account of commercial transactions.
