Not being from the UK, it was hard for me to get a sense of perspective on exactly where the Lowcock Plough, Lowcock’s Lemonade, Lowcock Razor, and Lowcock’s Iron Foundry was located. Using Google maps I was able to get a better context, which I am sharing below.
The marked points of interest are:
- Lowcock Plough Tiverton (Lower Corner, Southwest)
- Lowcock’s Lemonade Middlesbrough (Upper Corner, Northeast)
- Lowcock’s Iron Foundry Manchester (Middle, West)
- Lowcock Razor, Middlesex (South East)
- Lowcock Mill, Linton (North)
Given the geographic distribution and considerable travel time (even today) between each point, it’s hard to see how everyone is related. Although, Lowcock’s Lemonade, Lowcock’s Foundry, and Lowcock’s Mill are in relative (no pun intended) close proximity. Hopefully one day I will have more clarity on what connects all the dots.
The above map was made using MapCustomizer.
