"In affectionate Remembrance of John Appleyard born at Laceby 3rd February 1837. Died 12th May 1915."
He was a gardener and the brother of William Aopleyard, printer and stationer. In 1911 according to the they lived at Laceby House, The Avenue, Linthorpe. Both were listed as widowers. Mr John Appleyard had four children. Mr William Appleyard had one son and two daughters living at home from a total of 9 two of whom had died.
Appleyard Wm. & Sons, Ltd, as they are described in Ward’s Directory of 1910 – 11, were printers, stationers, lithographers, account book manufacturers, relief stampers and bookbinders. Their telephone number was National 156, and their address was 14 Albert Road; printing works, Short Street.
The object of the booklet is to show a few examples of printing, which may prove of some interest and service. It is in fact a marketing tool, designed to show off the quality of work that Appleyard and Sons Ltd could produce. It is quite apparent from the booklet that the work was of the highest quality.
In the pamphlet Appleyard’s state that, ‘All the samples shown have been executed on the premises of the firm, and it is hoped that they may be of assistance to those who are requiring work done, and may suggest ideas for drawing up ‘copy’.
As well as drumming up some more business for the firm, the booklet marks a period of expansion for the firm, who until 1909, were based at 12 Royal Exchange. The date 1909 is present in one or two of the examples of printing. However, as shown in the illustration of the shop premises in the booklet, when it was published Appleyard’s had just moved to 14 Albert Road. So not just a commercial tool, but also a celebration of the firm’s success, and its move to new and more prestigious premises.
Although the new premises look quite impressive, sadly they have been demolished now. 14 Albert Road is at the end of Albert Road nearest to the Railway Station, and just up from where the Royal Exchange was. The printing works were just a little distance away, in Short Street, as can be seen from the OS map detail. This whole area, behind Albert Road, and including Short Street is now gone. The premises at 14 Albert Road are marked on the OS map detail, also included. If anyone is familiar with this part of Albert Road, the attractive property, shown in the sketch, was just about opposite the Hank Sharpe Travel shop.
From ‘A Descriptive Account of Middlesbrough Illustrated’, published in 1894, (M942) before Appleyard’s moved from the Royal Exchange, is this extract, dealing with what was then called The Printing and Publishing Company, Mr. W. Appleyard – sole proprietor.
‘The business of the Printing and Publishing Company is an old established one, and came into Mr. Appleyard’s hands in the year 1875.’
‘Mr. W. Appleyard gives a personal supervision to the general administration, and he is ably assisted by his two sons, Mr. W. G. Appleyard, who manages the works department at Short Street, and Mr. T. M. Appleyard, who controls the commercial side at the Royal Exchange office.’
The company also employed sixteen people in the works office, and the composing-room ‘affords accommodation for thirty hands’
‘A special feature of these works is photo-lithography, a new department added about a year ago (1893)’.
This was obviously part of the general development that the printing industry was, and is still, going through. What was it though?
It was part of something called offset printing.
Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier. Ink rollers transfer ink to the image areas of the image carrier, while a water roller applies a water-based film to the non-image areas.
Lithography was initially created to be an inexpensive method of reproducing artwork. This printing process was limited to use on flat, porous surfaces because the printing plates were produced from limestone. In fact, the word "lithograph" historically means "an image from stone" or "printed from stone".
This would explain the comment from Middlesbrough Illustrated, that the photo-lithography department was ‘already noted for the high artistic character of the work turned out.’
From Wikipedia
‘The related term "photolithography" refers to the use of photographic images in lithographic printing, whether these images are printed directly from a stone or from a metal plate, as in offset printing. "Photolithography" is used synonymously with "offset printing". The technique as well as the term were introduced in Europe in the 1850s. Beginning in the 1960s, photolithography has played an important role in the fabrication and mass production of integrated circuits in the microelectronics industry.’
We hope you enjoy these images, which display the quality and variety of printing, which could be offered by W. M. Appleyard & Sons Ltd. There is also a photograph of W. M. Appleyard himself, presumably printed with Appleyard’s new photo-lithography process.
Affectionately known as the "Niagara of the North." Presumably after Niagara refused to name their falls the "Kakabeka of the South."

Cute, loving and affectionate interracial couple having fun, being playful and enjoying time together on copy space background. Happy boyfriend giving young girlfriend a piggyback ride outside.
Haven't posted photos of the cats in a while... Chester has grown into a HUGE (physically and emotionally) affectionate mush of a cat. Every morning he wakes up with me and follows me into the studio (and everywhere else in the house!) and hangs out with me. I love love love him. I had no idea he'd wind up becoming such a love after such a rocky start. He still is afraid of most everyone else, though.
Delilah recently turned 10 and is sort of becoming a woman very set in her ways. She doesn't like to be bothered by anyone but me and Chester. She hisses and growls at anyone else who dares pick her up or move her from a chair. She's still super friendly, and she's VERY good with Gracie (never hisses or growls at her, lets her pet her, etc.) but I think she's had about enough with Chester, the move, the baby, and Ginger. I can't blame her. She went from being the star of the show to one of the many. She's still my favorite though.
Affectionate friends.
The occasion was one of Mary Wright's conceptual art projects on display in the lower harbor park. It had something to do with "family trees" and putting old photos on tree stumps scattered around the park.
