ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Special thanks to good friend Dave Bean for his tireless work and support over many years, culminating in our collaboration on producing a comprehensive book on the company. We are also especially grateful to cousin Anne Wiseman and to Hull Local Studies Library, Anthony Bean, Bill Beech, Bonnie Bloom, Chris Bonnett, Veronica Bridger, Betty Molyneux Brown, Tom Coulson, Tony Cox, Rick Dickinson, Diana Driver, Andrew Gill, Brian Lean, Tony Mackrill, Kristy Todd and Stan Weeks for additional information and/or use of their images on this website.

Especially warm thanks to Rick Dickinson (grandson of Brow Dickinson who was managing director of the company for more than three decades). In May 2014 Rick uploaded images to Flickr of photos and documents that belonged to his grandfather. This is a most valuable and unique archive that throws more light on to the Public Benefit Boot Co people and activities, particularly in the 1920s. We hope to utilize some of that material on this website in due course but in the meantime the images can be viewed via the following link (copy and paste into your browser):
