P&B (Patons & Baldwin)
In the mid 18th century two entrepreneurs, James Baldwin of Halifax, England and John Paton of Alloa, Scotland separately developed businesses working with the early inventions of Cromptons spinning mule in the mid to late 1770s.
It was not until 1920 and several generations later that the two companies amalgamated to form the famous company Patons and Baldwins Limited.
The company was merged with J&P Coates in 1961.
