Newhouse, William, London, cm (1787–1820). At 28 Charles St, Hatton St, 1787–90. Even at this early stage the business was of substantial size and an insurance cover of £1,800 was maintained on the ‘house, workshops, rooms and shed all communicating behind’ and the utensils and stock kept in them. By June 1792 the business had moved to 4 Kirby St, Hatton Gdn at which it was to remain for the remainder of its extended business life. Again the insurance cover was substantial amounting to £2,100 of which only £150 referred to the house itself. Workshops, sheds and a warehouse were covered for £300 and utensils and stock for £850. The old premises in Charles St, now numbered 20 and leased for Leaver Pocket, a bookmaker, were insured for £300. [D; GL, Sun MS vol. 340, p. 470; vol. 370, p. 281]
