read moreJohn William Ruddock (JWR) came to work for Charles Akrill in 1873 after serving an apprenticeship at a printing firm and in 1880 set up his own printing business at 333 High Street, Lincoln. Surprisingly, he was helped to do this by Charles Akrill. Four years later, Charles Akrill's only son died, and he sold his own business. J W Ruddock and E Keyworth (who had worked for Charles Akrill for many years) bought the printing business jointly, and J W Ruddock bought the stationery business, which continued to trade from 253 High Street.
