History:
Thomas Withers was a key figure in the British safe manufacturing industry, part of the Withers family who established several safe-making businesses in West Bromwich during the late 19th century. Thomas, along with his brothers Samuel and Jesse, each ran their own competing companies, reflecting the era’s demand for improved security due to notorious robberies and break-ins.
Thomas Withers & Sons Ltd. became well-known for supplying safes to major institutions, including His Majesty’s Post Office and leading British banks. Their safes were recognized for quality and security, often featuring robust construction and sometimes brass hardware. The company operated from Sandwell Road in West Bromwich, with a history that lasted well into the 20th century.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the business faced financial difficulties, went into liquidation in 1982, and was removed from the companies register in 1984. After the company closed, most of the factory was demolished and a residential street named Withers Way was built on the site.
