Isaac Jenks
Wealthy industrialist Isaac Jenks (17 March 1816—-29 January 1888) was an extremely successful ironmaster who served as Mayor of Wolverhamton, 1872/73.
==Iron and steel==
A self-made man he started work at 12 years of age as an apprentice in a local iron works founded four years earlier by the first Mayor of Wolverhampton, George Thorneycroft. After finishing his apprenticeship he spent 20 years working in the local iron and steel industry and learned the value of a higher-end product. In 1857 he founded the Minerva Iron and Steel Works followed closely by the Beaver Works.
Capacity grew and in a little over 10 years it was estimated that 80% of US steel imports from the UK came from these two sites, strategically placed on part of the Birmingham Canal Navigations, giving access to world markets. Brand names such as ''"Jenks"'' steel and ''"Beaver"'' iron appeared on advertising for both wholesale iron and steel and finished products, along with evidence of agents in London and New York. Little is known of Jenks & Co. after 1902 and by 1908 the works had been demolished and redeveloped as coal wharves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk )〕
