James John Griffin (b 1835) had a brushmaking shop at 270 Tabard St, London, SE1. His son William (b 1863) had a similar shop at 235 Borough High St.
I'd like to find out what happened to the two businesses, but I've no idea where to start looking.
Could anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks,
Malcolm
