The Withers family business traces its origins to George Withers, an iron turner who founded the company in 1843, initially making metal bedsteads before moving into safe manufacturing. George Withers had nine children, among whom Samuel, Thomas, and Jesse became involved in safe making, with Samuel and Thomas being the most prominent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSamuel Withers \u0026amp; Co. became well known for their quality iron safes, often featuring brass handles, escutcheons, and decorative finishes. The company exhibited at the London Exhibition in 1862, showcasing a safe built with a patented composite steel plate invented by the firm’s founder. By the early 20th century, Samuel Withers \u0026amp; Co. was incorporated as a limited company and continued manufacturing safes and strong rooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Withers family’s safe-making legacy is marked by their innovation and the establishment of a respected trade in West Bromwich, with Samuel Withers safes still found in antique collections and historic buildings today.
