Administrative / biographical background:

In 1870 Henry Tate & Sons built a sugar refinery in Love Lane, Liverpool, which opened in 1872. In 1929, as Tate & Lyle Co., Ltd., the company amalgamated with Fairries, a refinery founded by J.A. and T. Fairrie in 1847 at Vauxhall Road, Liverpool. Geoffrey Fairrie joined the board and led the reconstruction and extension of the Love Lane premises in 1936-1937. In 1981 the Love Lane refinery was closed down as part of Tate & Lyle's rationalisation scheme.
