Jackson, Peter (1803-1839)
Jackson, Peter
1 and 2 Harp Alley, Shoe Lane, Fleet St, London; upholder, furniture broker, appraiser and auctioneer (fl.1803–45)
His billhead held in The London Archives (TLA), lists his trade as ‘Brokers, Upholders, Appraisers and Auctioneers’. At this early stage of the business it was a partnership trading as Jackson & Hind. Hind had probably left the business by 1810, however Peter Jackson was obviously a person of some substance for in December 1810 he took out insurance cover of £1,000 on two houses that he owned. The London Post Office Directory 1845 listed Jackson at 1 & 2 Harp Alley and also 100 Shoe Lane, Fleet Street as upholsterer.
