Founded in 1884 by the Reverend William John Bradbury, Bradbury and Son was a developing and successful business which by 1912 was serving many of the famous London hotels and clubs.
The 1914-8 war and rationing changed the trading pattern very substantially, with business largely confined to a 75 mile radius of Buxton.
