William Turner and Son, Cabinet Manufacturers, Islington, Liverpool. William Turner is recorded as apprenticed to Samuel Chubbard of Liverpool in 1802. An article in the Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser, 23rd October 1838, states: “We understand that Mr. William Turner, upholsterer and cabinet manufacturer of Islington, who recently fitted up the splendid new steam vessel, the Reindeer, is engaged to do the cabinet and upholstery work of her Majesty’s two magnificent new steam-vessels, the Merlin and Medusa, for the Liverpool and Dublin mail-packet service”. By 1858 the firm was named “W. Turner & Son”, and had completed an extensive renovation and expansion of stock and premises. They ceased trading in 1889.
