[edit] History
Hartley's was a grocers founded by Sir William Pickles Hartley near Pendle, Lancashire. In 1871 a supplier failed to deliver a consignment of jam, so William made his own that was produced from his own fruit and packaged in his own design earthenware pots. It sold well and in 1874 the business moved to Bootle, Liverpool and marmalade and jelly was also produced. In 1884 the business was incorporated as William Hartley & Sons Limited and in 1885 it moved to Aintree, where Hartley Village was built for the workers.
