Pryke & Palmer
Pryke & Palmer Ltd. was a company of ironmongers and builders' merchants, in the City of London, England. Their illustrated and extensive catalogues have become sought after by collectors, with some reproduced in facsimile editions.
In 1925 the company's Chairman, William Robert Pryke, served as Lord Mayor of London and was subsequently created a Baronet. His son, Dudley Pryke, later 2nd Baronet, spent his entire life working for the firm, rising to be managing director.
Their catalogues show them as located at 40 & 41, Upper Thames Street, London E.C. 4. They also had premises at Broken Wharf, in the Port of London, nearby. By 1930, they had showrooms on Newman Street/Oxford Street, in central London.
