1890 - "James Unsworth, St. Helens Music Warehouse, Church Street, St. Helens. - This, the oldest and foremost business of the kind in town, was founded twenty years ago at the present address by Mr. Unsworth, who has for the last thirty years been professor of music. The premises consist of a large front show-room, handsomely fitted up and most tastefully arranged, displaying to advantage a splendid stock of music and musical instruments, including classical, popular, and cheap music, hymn books of all kinds, manuscript music paper and books; pianofortes, American organs, harmoniums, violins, violas, violoncellos, and double bass, strings, &c., all by well-known high-class makers; as well as clarionets and flutes, accordions, concertinas, guitars, and banjos, with all requisite furnishings for the classes of instruments named. For the excellent quality and moderate prices of the instruments supplied this house from the beginning has enjoyed a famous reputation. As a teacher of music, and as organist and choirmaster of Holy Cross Church, St. Helens, which position he has held for the past twenty-six years, Mr. Unsworth is widely known. ->

For more than thirty years he has been a most successful instructor, teaching the pianoforte, organ, American organ, harmonium, and singing, including solos and choral, as well as theory and composition, and in connection with this department of his business his services are in great requisition. His long experience classes him as a first-rate judge of instruments. He is thus enabled to give his clients the benefit of his long experience in the selection of instruments of the best and soundest construction. Mr. Unsworth is a quiet, agreeable, courteous gentleman, a born musician, and highly respected by his numerous warm supporters and all who have the pleasure of meeting him in or out of business."
