'''The Midland Vinegar Company was established in 1874 by Edward Eastwood and his nephew Edwin Samson Moore. They produced vinegar,sauces,chutneys and pickles. The company grew rapidly from their factory at Aston Cross Birmingham. In 1899 they purchased the rights for HP Sauce from a Nottingham Grocer Frederick Gibson Garton under dubious circumstances. The Midland Vinegar Company went on to promote this world class British institution into what we now know today. In 1910 The Eastwood family were bought out and the Midland Vinegar Company ltd. became under the ownership of the Moores who themselves sold out in 1924 to the British shareholders trust who launched their new company as HP Sauce Ltd. Edward Eastwood was the financier of the Midland Vinegar Company when it was established with his nephew Edwin Samson Moore.
