An early history of the business can be found in 'The Industries of Yorkshire, Part 2' published in 1890 at reference L.380.081.

A search through the online catalogue and in the index cards in the History Centre's search room will give details of other records relating to the business of Barnby and Rust, such as building plans and connections to the Hull Municpal Corporation.

The catalogue, edited by J.E.S. Walker produced for the exhibition 'Hull and East Riding Clocks' and the book, 'Yorkshire Clock Makers' by Brian Loomes, both at L.681(4) also discuss early time pieces made by Barnaby and Rust. In addition, Hull Museums have a clock and 2 pocket watches made by Barnby and Rust within their collections, although these are not on display at present.
