Crookes family pioneering begins in Renishaw

Post

October 29, 2025

THE history of Renishaw is interwoven with that of the pioneering Crookes family.

Their story dates back to 1860 when Samuel Crookes from Finningley in Yorkshire, England, arrived in Durban aboard the Rydal.

Crookes moved to Scottburgh and soon began farming sugar cane. He settled down, and got married and had three sons and three daughters.

Renishaw Farm is the site of Crookes's first cane farming and milling operation in the 1860s. He registered his company in 1878 as Samuel S Crookes & Sons for his farming and milling interests.
