Billy Powell was at the factory 1900 to 1950, specialising in English birds, on which he was a great expert spending his spare time photographing them. He was a hunchback and dwarf and had a tall seat to reach his painting desk.The factory put him to work with the gilders so that the public coud see a painter as they were not allowed into the mens painting department. He was a cheerful man who got on well with the public, who in turn would buy his pieces in the Shop, so he always had plenty of work. The photograph shows him on the west side of the River Severn.
