George Betjemann & Sons, Pentonville Road London
George Betjemann (1798-1886), the great grandfather of Sir John Betjemann, the Poet Laureate and broadcaster, was apprenticed to Gilbert Slater, a dressing case maker in 1810, and established himself as a dressing case manufacturer, initially in Clerkenwell, and later in 1859, in the Pentonville Road, where his substantial business employed 119 people having expanded into making and selling writing case, tantalus sets and tobacco cabinets, inter alia.
Viscountess Folkestone (1815-1879), (later Countess of Radnor in 1872) was the most noted aristocratic philanthropist of her day, espousing the Rights of Women, and the less privileged members of English Society.
