Cash's

[3] He built an infants' school in the garden of his home, Sherborne House, in 1853, which he also allowed local Wesleyans to use as a place of worship.

George Eliot had been staying with the Bray family, and on sale of the property she moved into the smaller Ivy Cottage on the grounds.

[4] Andrews had an interest in astronomy and participated in the British Astronomical Association (BAA) expedition to observed the total solar eclipse of 28 May 1900.

[10][11] The Cash brothers’ willingness to take risks again manifested during the 1870s when the firm began producing coloured embroidery work.

Cash felt that the size of the new Norwalk plant would suffice for at least 20 years of growth, however, a substantial addition was needed by 1912.

It was at this point in time that the manufacture of woven clothing labels was added to the firm’s catalogue, a move that would drive the need for further additions to the factory during the 1920s.

[12] Frank Goodchild served the firm from 1886 to 1946 at Coventry and subsequently in the USA, finally as President of the US Company.

[15] On 13 February 2014 it was announced that Hong Kong based The Jointak Group had invested in the company and that it would reopen under the name "Cash's Apparel Solutions".

[16] On 23 December 2014, Cash's moved out of Torrington Avenue to the Seven Stars Industrial Estate at Wheler Road in Coventry.

Cash's no longer make ribbons, although they continue to weave identity nametapes, together with woven pictures, cards and bookmarks.

In more recent years the main focus of the business has been a new anti-counterfeit and tamper evident security labelling department for high-end brands, called CertiEye.

[19] Cash's original records at Kingfield Road were destroyed by a bomb,[4] but many of the company's subsequent archives are in the Coventry local history centre, in The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.
