In February 1792 Elijah Solomon purchased insurance cover of £500 of which £400 was for utensils and stock [The London Archives (TLA), Sun MS vol. 382, ref. 596343]. 

No directory entries have been recorded after 1793 except one of 1826 which lists Eliza Solomon at this address. This may be his widow or alternatively a directory error [V&A archives].
