Label TextSparton arrived in London in 1930 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of an American firm, the Sparks-Worthington Company (hence Spar-ton). It took over the former Sherlock-Manning piano factory on Elm Street and began building radios and refrigerators. By the 1960s, the company was producing a full range of entertainment products, including televisions, and was also pressing records.
