Laycock, Dyson and Laycock, now part of Eaton, Smith and Downey, was established as a firm of solicitors as early as 1866 in Lion Arcade, Huddersfield, as Laycock and Dyson. A year later new premises were found at 48 John William Street. By 1892, the second Laycock had been added as a partner and the firm had moved again, this time to Cloth Hall Street. |
