Hello, I'm trying to find out further information about a jewellers that used to be in Chester, the only information I have is on the box that says Bull & Co Ltd, Eastgate Chester, Jewellers & Watchmakers - I've Googled it, lots of Jewellers come up, but none by that name.

The only Bull and Co. I can find is a jewelers in High Street, Bedford.
They have been around for more than 200 years.
Try Chester library. They should have old town maps.
As far as I can tell they were a retail jeweller, a lot of Jewellers in Chester were also goldsmiths, and Chester has an important assay office. Anyone something would have a registered mark. What was in the box Does the item have any marks?
It is Butt & Co. rather than Bull and Co.
Yes, it is Butt (not Bull), but even the seller in jno's link thinks it's Bull!

Many thanks for all your answers and yes it is Butt & Co Ltd, unfortunately with the box being quite worn, the "t's" look like "l's" as the gold on the silk lining was in a crease. Thanks again for all your help.
