1912
Midland Metal
Spinners was founded by
George Cadman, who was
then 65 years old, as a metal
holloware manufacturing
company, in St. Mark’s Street,
Wolverhampton. They later
moved into the Tower and
Fort Works in Pelham Street,
which ultimately gave rise
to the famous Tower brand
name.
1937
Tower exhibited some
of their latest holloware
designs at the British
Industries Fair. As you can
see from the original poster,
their stand No. A410 must
have been a great sight as
it promoted their “Beautiful,
inexpensive, untarnishable
Plate, at prices all can afford
to pay”.
1961
Tower became one of
the largest manufacturers
of aluminium holloware,
electric kettles, tea pots and
other household articles
with over 1,000 employees.
1974
Russell Hobbs took
ownership of the expanding
Tower brand.
