Estate Cottages, North Cliffe, East Yorkshire, 1885. For Samuel Fox (1815-1887) as his own house. Unlisted. Samuel Fox bought the North Cliffe estate in 1861. By the time of his death in 1887 he had rebuilt the small settlement. Samuel Fox (1815-1887) was born in Bradwell, Derbyshire. He started work as an apprentice at Samuel Cocker and Son, wire-drawers of Hathersage, who specialised in needle-wire. When they moved to Sharrow Moor, Fox went with them. After his apprenticeship he is thought to have worked in the Tingle Brothers' Top Side crucible steel melting shops at Grenoside. He then became a partner in a wire drawing business in the Rivelin Valley. He moved to Stocksbridge in 1842 to establish his own wire drawing business in a former cotton mill. This business had developed into the Stocksbridge Steelworks by 1851, but the beginning of the firm's expansion can be dated from 1848 with the first recorded sale of umbrella frames. He and his company Fox Umbrella Frames Ltd developed the "Paragon" umbrella frame, a U section of string steel that was far superior to its competitors. Development of the product continued until at least 1935. A similar product was used to make Crinoline frames from 1855. Umbrellas with 'Fox Frames' were sold worldwide. It seems that steel making was introduced at Stocksbridge around 1860. At this time the railways were expanding rapidly, both at home and abroad, and Samuel Fox linked his prosperity firmly with that of the railways. The first rail and billet mill was brought into production in 1863 and the first rod mill in 1864. Fox's main exports were rails and umbrella frames which went to America, the Empire and Europe. Umbrella frames remained an important product, and the 'Paragon' patent was closely guarded. In the 1880s, when Fox was getting old, he was often ill, and spent a great deal of time away from the works at his family home, Townend House. In spite of his illness he did not relinquish control over the Company. Samuel Fox died on 25th February 1887. He was buried here at North Cliffe, where he had his official residence. The service took place in the little church he had financed, and he was the first to be buried there.

Another interesting character in the silver plate saga is Samuel Simpson. To begin this post let's start with a reference to an earlier post on Cowles and "Spoonville" and a page from the 1888 book edited by L. P. Brockett called "Our Country's Wealth and Influence".  This publication suggests that Mr. Simpson was one of the pioneers in the silver plating industry.…
