About H. M. Loadman
Henry M. Loadman was part of a York family of antiquarian dealers active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Loadmans kept shops at 5 College Street, 37 Stonegate, and Minster Gates, York, trading in antiques, curios and historic prints. Alongside his dealing, H. M. Loadman documented York’s heraldry, stained glass and buildings in sketchbooks and watercolours. Several albums and records from the family are preserved today in the Explore York Archives, confirming their role in recording and preserving the city’s heritage.
