Founded by Joseph Frederick Fradley in 1866. Fradley had served his apprenticeship as a Chaser under Wood & Hughes.

J.F. Fradley & Co. were exhibitors at the Exposition in Paris in 1889.

Joseph Fradley retired in 1902, but the business was continued by his son, George F. Fradley. The company existed until at least the mid 1930's.
