Building photographs

Founded in 1847, in Birmingham, we moved to our current London home in 1899, at 1 Birdcage Walk. The new building had modern features, such as a lift and telephones. Original features are still retained for example, the Library has its original moulded ceiling and woodwork.

Most of the photographs are of our headquarters, during the 1890s and 1940s.
