Altrincham Guardian 18th February 1889 'It is always an agreeable duty to have to comment upon the business activity of which many instances are to be seen just now in Altrincham. The most recent example of local enterprise is to be seen in the extension of the works of G.W. Bonson in Stamford New Road where an elaborate installation of machinery has been erected for the purposes of carpet beating. The appliances are the most perfect of their kind, and in a district where carpet beating, common and prosaic a business as it may seem, is an important industry during times of spring cleaning, the new facilities are bound to be largely used. New storage rooms have also been built adjoining Moss Lane, making the works the largest & most complete of their kind in the suburbs of Manchester.'
