Rylands, a name that holds a rich history and diverse range of connections. From the iconic Rylands Library in Deansgate, Manchester to the Wholesale Warehouse Departments and Sons, Limited captured in an intriguing black and white photo. The mention of Pfaff Sewing Machines in an old advertisement takes us back to a time when craftsmanship thrived. Moving away from Manchester, we find ourselves in Piccadilly Gardens, another place where the name Rylands resonates, and is here that John Rylands, the head of cotton firm J Rylands & Sons made his mark on the bustling city. But it doesn't stop there; our journey takes us further afield as we explore different maps bearing the name Rylands - Oxford OX3 0 Map, Broxtowe NG9 1 Map, Babergh IP9 2 Map, Mendip BA11 6 Map. Each map represents a unique location where this surname has left its imprint. And finally, we come across Peter Rylands - who could he be? A descendant carrying on the family legacy or perhaps someone entirely unrelated but still connected by this remarkable name? Rylands is more than just a word; it's an intricate web connecting places and people throughout history.
