Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Arcade Property Company Limited was established in May 1934 as a property holding company to the Furness Withy group of shipping companies and British Maritime Trust Limited. It took its name from property which it held in Regent Arcade. Its other principal assets were Hadley Wood Golf Course and the long lease of a private hotel in Cadogan Gardens. These properties were sold in the late 1970s and the company ceased trading in 1980.
