Chivers, Philip, 219 Piccadilly, London, u (1778–80). Took out insurance cover for £1,900 in 1778 of which £1,400 was for utensils, stock and goods. In 1779 the total was the same but the cover for utensils, stock and goods was raised to £1,500. The business thus appears to have been of substantial size. Its life was however short for its bankruptcy was announced in January 1780. [GL, Sun MS vol. 264, p. 532; vol. 276, p. 69; Gents Mag., January 1780]
