The Manchester Regiment was formed on the 1st of July 1881 when the 63rd and 96th Regiments of Foot were amalgamated under the Childers Reform. However, the Regiment can trace its history back a further 123 years prior to this date. Hobsons began their uniform business close to Woolwich Barracks, South London, England. Clothing and Regimental Regalia were made for all members of the armed forces using traditional tailoring and handcraft techniques. Hobsons business grew to such an extent that by 1860 five shops were open in and around the Woolwich area. Their expertise and reputation for quality was rapidly established among customers, particularly the locally based Royal Artillery. Lexington Street London W.1 was acquired for Hobsons around 1880. Gold and Silver wire embroidery was produced here along with the weaving of lace. In the basement, the Leather Accoutrements department produced specialist goods of all descriptions. By the turn of the century the new Hobsons factory and offices in Tooley St (between London Bridge and Tower Bridge) were in operation. Several hundred employees worked at making all garments and accessories required for the Guards uniforms. In the 1930's Hobsons purchased a disused church hall with a plot of surrounding land at Thundersley, Essex with the long-term plan of drawing all parts of the business together into one place - this would take another 60 years. 12 cm in length and 11 ¾ cm wide.
