Rushworth and Dreaper explained

Rushworth and Dreaper was a firm of organ builders, and later general instrument suppliers associated with Paul McCartney[1] based in Liverpool.[2] The manufacturer was founded in 1828 by William Rushworth, operating until 2002. Upon its liquidation, its archives were mostly destroyed, and the Victorian clock in the works tower was removed. The premises are now occupied by Henry Willis & Sons.
