A reference in one of our books, published in 1989 is to the Gow
White Tea Merchants and Brokers Archive, (somewhere in London).
We can find no trace of Gow White, but have traced a Gow Wilson
Tea Merchants. This firm was dissolved in 1994. We guess then that
the reference should be to the Gow Wilson Archive. Neither the
National Register of Archives, Business Archives Council nor the
Guildhall Library have been able to shed any further light. I also
contacted the Bramah Tea Museum but have yet to receive a reply.
Has anyone by chance any knowledge of this archive or its present
whereabouts, or can anyone suggest where else one might enquire?
Thanks in advance,
David F
