The company was founded by the Lennard Brothers in 1877. One brother, Samuel, served as a town councillor in Leicester, and later became mayor of the city. The firm was initially known as the Lennard Shoe Company, and appears in trade directories as early as 1887.〔'(Liberty Building timeline )'', Manufacturing Pasts, University of Leicester 2012.〕
By the early twentieth century, the company specialised in the production of high-quality footwear for women.〔 At its peak the company employed 650 people, and was an important force in the local community; but by the 1960s it had entered a period of decline, and its eventual closure began with 200 layoffs in 1962.〔Rebecca Madgin, ''Heritage, Culture and Conservation: Managing the Urban Renaissance'' (Saarbruken, 2008), p. 32.〕〔Ben Beazley, ''Postwar Leicester'' (Sutton Publishing, 2006), p. 120.〕
