COMPANY
HISTORY
A footwear business
was established at 65 London Street, Norwich over 135 years ago.
The founder of Bowhill & Elliott, Obadiah Bowhill, purchased
the business from Wright & Co. in 1874. The business passed
onto his son and son-in-law, Thomas Baines Elliott, at the end of
the nineteenth century. Thus the partnership of Bowhill & Elliott
was formed. And the family connection continues into this new century
under the direction of Roger Jury, descendant of Mr. Elliott.
PRESENT DAY
Bowhill & Elliott has a shop from which it retails a large selection
of ladies and mens shoes including the following brands, Crockett
& Jones, Cheaney, Barkers, Loake, Mephisto,
HB Shoes, Gabor and Peter Kaiser.
At the same location there is a small factory where Bowhill and
Elliott manufactures slippers and houseshoes and specialises in
producing hand embroidered velvet houseshoes and making up tapestry,
needlepoint or fabric into houseshoes.
