William Green learned the shoe making trade when he helped his mother to hand make boots at home until 1860 and after that when he bought his own house in 1866. The Greens Yard factory was opened in 1874 and was amongst the first to adopt the new 'Goodyear' welted method of making shoes.
The Grenson name was a shortening of the name 'Green and Son' and so in 1913 the name became one of the first brands to be registered in the UK.
In the early 50s the Grenson Shoes company quickly adapted to the comparatively new trend of wearing shoes as opposed to boots.
