1881 At an EGM, it was decided that the company should be voluntarily wound up; a Committee of Inspection was set up to oversee the liquidation consisting of representatives of Tunnel Portland Cement Co, Phoenix Portland Cement Co, Booth and Co., Mr. Frank Walter Scott (creditor and shareholder) and Mr. Alexander Burrell (shareholder).
