Scope and Content

ACCOUNT BOOK: Owen Williams, ironmonger, Stanley Crescent, Holyhead.

From 1917 - 1950 the daily takings of the shop are recorded.

Administrative / Biographical History

Dealing in ironware has a long tradition, dating back to the first recorded use of the metal to fashion useful objects as long ago as 1200 BC. Ironmongery originally referred, first, to the manufacture of iron goods and, second, to the place of sale of such items for domestic rather than industrial use. In both contexts, the term has expanded to include items made of steel, aluminum, brass, or other metals, as well as plastics. The term ironmonger as a supplier of consumer goods is still widely used in Great Britain, the US equivalent being "hardware store".
