United We Stand Divided We Fall' 'This is to Certify that on the 7th day of June 1884 William Greetham was admitted a member of the Portsmouth No 22 Branch of the Steam Engine Makers Society. Established November 2nd, 1824. W. H. Hughes President. Thomas F. Williams Secretary.' Engraved by William Morton 2 Essex Street. King Street. Manchester. The Steam Engine Makers' Society was started in Liverpool in 1824 and remained a mainly northern society. Its original members were fitters, turners, and the erectors of steam engines but this was broadened in 1847 to include millwrights, steam-engine patternmakers, and the makers of tools used in the manufacture of steam engines. The function was more of a beneficial society rather than one engaged in disputes.
