| R
& J Howarth Ltd celebrated its 40th anniversary in February
1998, by taking the hi-tech route to its continued success in
the next forty years, by establishing this web site.
Howarth Jewellers, which has
branches in Mawdesly St., Bolton and Market St. in Little
Lever, was founded in 1958 by Roger Howarth, a time-served
watch repairer and a Fellow of the British Horological Institute.
Twin sons Carl and Mike joined
the business in the late seventies, Mike as a watchmaker and
Carl as a jeweller. Both served their time and qualified at
college. Daughters Gwen and Janet have also taken their
place in the family business, Janet is a gemologist and a
fellow of the Gemological Association, and Gwen is one of
the country's few lady watchmakers.
Roger & Joyce Howarth are
now both semi-retired and the shops are run by Mike and Carl.
Mike was responsible for bringing the family right up to date
by establishing this Internet site.
