Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Aerated Bread Company Limited was incorporated on 28 October 1862 as bakers, confectioners and light refreshment contractors. The first bakery was in Islington, with offices at 17 Camden Road, until it moved at the turn of the 20th century to Soho. A factory was built in Camden Road in 1930. By 1923 it had 150 branch shops in London and 250 tea rooms. The firm was taken over by Allied Bakeries Limited in 1955 which became in turn a subsidiary of Associated British Foods Limited. It is believed that it ceased trading in the early 1980s.
