Lyons Thornycroft |
| J.Lyons and Company Limited was founded in 1886
as a catering business, earning a reputation as caterers for exhibitions. In
1894, it was incorporated as a public company and established its head office
and food factories at Cadby Hall in Hammersmith. The company rapidly established
a chain of Teashops, Corner Houses and Restaurants with the opening of the first
Lyons Teashop in 1894 in Piccadilly, the Trocadero restaurant in 1896 and the
first Lyons Corner House in 1909 in Coventry Street. To keep pace with this
expansion the factories were moved to Greenford in Middlesex and in 1920 the
largest tea-packing plant in the world was opened. |
