Lightbown Aspinall

Lightbown Aspinall is an English wallpaper manufacturing company founded in 1854 in Bredbury, Lancs, by Henry Lightbown (1819–99), who had worked for POTTER & Co. By 1847, he was in business with his brother-in-law William Aspinall and Doctor Graham, a partner in Potter’s, as wallpaper merchants and block printers in Manchester. In 1854 Henry Lightbown, his brother James Lightbown and William Aspinall set up a new factory, Hayfield Mills, at Bredbury, where they became one of the largest producers of cheap machine-printed wallpapers in 19th-century Britain.
