Howards & Sons Ltd: From quinine to aspirins, the history of the Howard pharmaceutical company 1797- 1961 By Richard Morris, local historian
The Howards of Tottenham were pioneering chemists and Fellows of the Royal Society. The head of this important scientific family was Luke Howard FRS (1772-1864), the eminent meteorologist, who established his pharmaceutical business, working with his sons Robert Howard (1801-1871) and John Eliot Howard FRS (1807-1883), the quinologist. In this talk, local historian Richard Morris will chart the history of the Howard pharmaceutical business from its beginnings in Fleet Street in 1797, the first manufacturing unit at Plaistow, the factory at Stratford, and the move to Ilford in the early years of the twentieth century. He will also include biographies of the different Howard family members, whose activities included local government, religion, opera and charity, as well as being chemists.
Doors open at 7pm. Talk begins at 7.30pm Refreshments available
