The business was started by Sampson Hancock, a prominent Wesleyan Methodist, at Victoria Street, Tunstall in 1857/58. In 1876 he moved to the Bridge Works, Church Street, Stoke and was joined by Benjamin Hancock. The partnership was dissolved in December 1881 when Benjamin retired from the business and Sampson continued on his own account. In 1892 Sampson Hancock moved to the Gordon Works in Wolfe Street, Stoke and became Sampson Hancock & Sons.
