(The family were cloth merchants and had a small private girls school in Huddersfield.) John Sykes 27 Oct 1821 (Census 1841, was living in 53 Spring Street, Huddersfield, he was 20 yrs and worked as a timber merchant.) He moved to Birmingham from Huddersfield in the 1850’s. He first joined James Stevens in a partnership and they traded as timber merchants under the name Stevens & Sykes. In 1862 John Sykes set up his own business as a timber merchant from premises in Sheepcote Street in Birmingham. George Sykes joined his father in 1870, at the age of 14, and for the next 30 years they worked together to expand the business. After George Sykes took over from his father in 1900 he opened an additional yard in Sheepcote Street (across the road from the original yard, that backed on the the canal.) and another yard in Darlaston. (West Midlands) George Sykes Ltd, is now located in Atherstone, Warwickshire, having moved there to take advantage of the new, at the time motorway systems joining up the north, Midlands and south of England. The firm was relocated by John Sykes, (my father) who was George Sykes’ son. His son Stephen Sykes took over and Stephens’ two sons now run the business. They transport hardwoods around Britain by road. When they moved to B’ham the timber was transported by canal boats.
