Title: Indian Tea Assoc., 21 Mincing Lane EC
Post by: davidpease on Sunday 16 December 07 14:45 GMT (UK)

My Great Uncle, William Henry Pease, worked for them from 1900 - 1917 and after WW1.  I would like to trace any photo's of Mincing Lane as it would have been during this period and the company records for the Indian Tea Association.  Any help would be appreciated

If you go to this site you will see a vitual tour of the modern MincingLane.

If you google   "Indian Tea Association Mincing Lane" (without the ") you will get a list of possible sites that could help.

Also try the Guildhall Library Manuscript Dept as they have a photo library of the City of London.

Good luck,

Records of the Indian Tea Association are at the British Library, Asia, Pacific and Africa Collections (previously Oriental and India Office Library).
