J. A. Lanson & Sons Ltd
This was firm was registered in 1947 as an engineers and sheet metal worker at 172a Bramall Lane. Capital was £2,000. The directors were John Arthur Lanson (1896-1964) and his sons, Leslie Henry Lanson (1921-1988) and Desmond Hanson (1923-1982). The family came from Handsworth, where apparently J. Arthur had been a colliery worker. Curiously, the family name was ‘Mycock’. After Arthur’s marriage to Maud née Webb in 1920, the family is only traceable as Mycock. ....
