Peter Stubs (1756-1806) manufactured steel tools, particularly files, during the end of the 18th century. After he died in 1806, the firm was operated by his sons, John, William and Joseph Stubs. By 1841, the firm employed over 200 workers and manufactured their own steel. Operation continued into the 1990s when the company ended the manufacture of files.
