| 释义 |
Rippon Bros was a coach building business thought to have begun as early as the 16th century. Historian John Stowe (1524/25 – 1605) reported that in 1555 Walter Rippon made a coach for the Earl of Rutland, and that in 1564 he made another for Queen Elizabeth. It is thought Rippon built the coach but not its decoration.[1] It is believed the same business was more recently operated in Huddersfield, Yorkshire by William Rippon and Charles Marsom as Rippon & Marsom then from 1882 it was taken on by Rippon's two sons - William Edward Rippon (1858-1949) and Joseph Rippon. Eventually it was owned by Rippon Bros Limited and its chairman was Colonel Reginald Rippon who died in 1969. The business closed in 1970.
