John Wyke was born in 1729 at Sutton (Lancs), probably at the Moat House. He was innovative and ambitious, and he developed products including machines for cutting gear wheels for watches. The conservative Prescot watchmakers did not take kindly to his developments, and he moved to Liverpool, buying bought land off Dale Street, where he built for himself a residence, coach-house, stables, garden, manufactory, warehouse, and other buildings all grouped about a large rectangular courtyard.(Submitted on October 10, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
