1882 Parker & Thexton Builders Great Strickland Construction Invoice
Item Description:
This is an original 1882 double-sided invoice from Parker & Thexton, Builders based in Great Strickland. The document is addressed to Mrs. James Furness and itemizes extensive labor and materials used throughout May 1882, including man-days worked, slates, nails, flags, cement, and walling work. The invoice is signed as settled on June 10, 1882, by John Parker.
Parker & Thexton were general building contractors active in rural Cumbria, and this invoice provides a highly detailed record of a month’s worth of construction work—valuable for both historical and genealogical research into Victorian trades and property development.
Both sides of the document show signs of age-related wear, including multiple fold marks, edge wear, small tears, and a puncture hole. Ink handwriting remains legible on both sides, and the item includes detailed measurements and costs. See Photos for Condition.
