General Information
 
At least six men from Trafford are commemorated on this memorial.

S & J Watts was founded by James Watts (Mayor of Manchester), a
Mancunian industrialist and entrepreneur, whose textile business had
started in a small weaver's cottage in Didsbury. His success as a
cotton trader was part of the commercial boom of the 19th century
that gave Manchester the name "Cottonopolis", when the city was a
global centre for the cotton trade. (Wikipedia)
