Livesey, Hargreaves and Company
Livesey, Hargreaves and Company was an English business involved in the textile industry during the late 18th century.
==Business==
The company took a lead in the mechanisation of printing cloth using a process that had been developed by Thomas Bell.〔 In 1783 Bell patented a method of printing on fabric from engraved cylinders, and by 1785 he was able to print in six colours by this process. Before that time the printing of fabric had been by hand, and the hand printers had been demanding higher wages.〔 During the 1780s the firm was the largest calico printer in Lancashire, and was "one of the largest cotton manufacturing enterprises in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution". The printing process was carried out at their factories at Bannister Hall and at Mosney, both in Walton-le-Dale, near Preston, Lancashire. The firm also had a large mill at Clitheroe, a factory, warehouse and offices in Manchester, a warehouse in London, and were involved in bleaching cloth at Hoghton. It also owned a coal mine at Standish to provide fuel for its enterprises, and commissioned work from handloom weavers working in the their own homes (out-workers).〔
