Corbyn, Stacey and Co
From Graces Guide
Brunton's Wharf, 673 Commercial Road East, London
Wholesale and export druggists.
The company claimed to have been established prior to the Great Fire of London, though without giving a precise date. At the time of its closure, the business was described as being 350 years old. Company records held by the Wellcome Library go back as far as 1726.
1897 Corbyn, Stacey and Company Limited was incorporated, with a nominal capital of £50,000. In 1907 the company went into voluntary liquidation. The liquidator sold the assets to a new company of the same name for £2,700. In 1927, the debenture holders appointed a receiver and the company was wound up. The failure was attributed to the depression in trade and the lack of working capital.[1]
