Detail of a manhole cover found on Baroda Street in Belfast. It is marked "Thos. S. Dixon and Co. Ltd., 88-92 York Street, Belfast". T.S. Dixon & Co., are listed in the 1907 Belfast Street Directory as "timber, slate & cement merchants" and traded at 86 to 92 York Street and also 59 Great George's Street; an earlier company called Carse, Dixon, & Co. were listed in the 1877 directory as "timber, slate, tile and cement merchants" and traded from the York Street address. There is also an interesting entry in the 1918 directory which lists Dixon Estates Ltd. trading from the Milewater Road in Belfast docks: "Dixon, Thos., & Sons, Ltd., timber, slate, and tile merchants, steam saw mills and ship owners - secretary, Richard Lutton, Ormiston, Rosetta Park, Belfast" and "Irish Ship Owners Co. Ltd. - Thos. Dixon & Sons Ltd., managers; J. E. Wellwood, J.P., secretary. Telephone 2727 (5 lines). Telegrams - "Dixons, Belfast".
