Administrative / biographical background:

The Company was founded in 1897. It went into voluntary liquidation because it was felt that it could not compete with the larger Insurance Companies and that it ought to wind up while it had a good reserve of funds. The registered office was first at 58, and later at 39, Abbeygate Street, Bury St. Edmunds.
