Wikipedia Quote; The union had its origins in the Manchester Alliance of Operative House Painters, founded in 1856, which loosely grouped together some local unions based around the city of Manchester. It underwent numerous name changes before emerging in 1886 as the more closely unified National Amalgamated Society of Operative House Painters and Decorators. It merged with the Amalgamated Society of House Decorators and Painters and several smaller unions in 1904, to form the National Amalgamated Society of Operative House and Ship Painters and Decorators (NASOHASPAD). In 1935, it shortened its name to the National Society of Painters.
