The Provincial Typographical Association was established in 1849 by delegates from across Yorkshire and Lancashire who met at Angel Street in Sheffield. It was a successor to the Northern Typographical Union (1830-1844) and the National Typographical Association (1844-1848). In 1877 it merged with a related relief association and dropped "Provincial" from its title. In 1963 it amalgamated with the London Typographical Society to form the National Graphical Association. John Bonfield became joint general secretary, with Robert Willis, and sole G.S. from 1969, when Willis retired. In 1991 the Association amalgamated with the Society of Graphical and Allied Trades to form the Graphical, Paper and Media Union.
