The Phillipson's Directory of 1910 reveals that William Lockie, a tinsmith, was then trading from No. 8 Ebenezer Terrace.

He began the business about 1895 trading from 11 Grove Road, moving to Ebenezer Terrace in about 1903. At sometime after 1940 the houses were renumbered and 8 Ebenezer Terrace became 8 Newton Road.

The main manufacture was dust extractors, although they made many other items, for use in the shoe trade, and then branched out into welding and spraying cabinets. He also had a workshop at 6 Fitzwilliam Street.

William died in 1944 and his wife Emma in 1953.

His son Ted carried on the business, moving into general electrical work, from a workshop at 41 Robinson Road.
