Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Economic Life Assurance Society was established in 1823 in premises at 34 Bridge Street, Blackfriars. By 1850 the company was at 6 New Bridge Street where it remained until it was acquired by the Alliance Assurance Company in 1913. Alliance Assurance appear to have retained separate series for Economic Life for some years after the takeover. Alliance Assurance itself merged with the Sun Insurance Company in 1960 to form the Sun Alliance Insurance Company.
