William Sturges was a major share holder in the Bowling Iron works at Bradford. they started out as an iron foundary then leased the coal and iron mining from the residents of bowling Hall. they then bought the coal out right. finally they bought Bowling Hall. they seem to have been supplying to the government during the Napoleonic wars. after practically destroying the park around Bowling Hall through their mining and ironworks i guess that the hall was not quite such a dignified place to live.
