The firm was founded in 1884 by Alexander Macintosh, an ironmonger and the son of a local coppersmith. His father, William, ran a business out of 23-24 Market Street, and when he died, Alexander took over the firm. In 1884, he bought up a second ironmongery business, that of Edward Beales, and moved to 14 Market Hill. At this time, they started operating as Alexander Macintosh & Sons, and they bought a foundry on Thompson's lane. The website "Capturing Cambridge" includes several photographs of the Market Hill premises, taken in the 1890s. Alexander Macintosh died in 1950 (he was buried in Cambridge City Cemetery) and the company went into liquidation in 1962. Their building on Market Hill was demolished shortly afterwards. Several items made by the company are now in the collections of the Museum of Cambridge, and a collection of the company's records are now at Cambridgeshire Archives.
