BUSINESS HOUSES

Messrs PLYMOUTH PATENT ALKALI COMPANY

Updated:  15 February 2011 

The Plymouth Patent Alkali Company was one of a number of enterprises that attempted to make soap in the Plymouth area.

It appears not to have been very successful as half the partners left the firm within a short space of time:

Mr John Burnell withdrew from the partnership on or about January 27th 1843.  [1]

Mr James Bryant, Mr William Eales and Mr Philip Edward Lyne withdrew from the partnership on or about January 30th 1843.  [1]

Mr William Burnell withdrew from the partnership on or about February 6th 1843.  [1]

This left only Mr William Longmaid; Mr Henry Elliott; Mr James Yonge; and Mr Joseph Elliott Square.  [1]

However, the business is not listed as existing in 1844.  [2]
