History
The Albion Iron and Wire Works Company was founded on 21 January 1885 in Ironmonger Row, Clerkenwell, and later moved to Britton Street. In 1970 the firm took over Myerson Kilby Limited, sheet metal workers (est.1820) and J.W. Shale Limited, constructional engineers (est.1880s). Subsidiary companies in 1982 included Sebry Staircase and Ironworks Limited, fire escape staircase manufacturers (incorporated 1930), Lift Cars and Components Company Limited (incorporated 1957) and Albion (Norfolk) Limited (incorporated 1970). Items manufactured included wire work, staircase lifts, machine guards, and metal sheeting and ducting. In 1985 the London company went into liquidation, although work continued at Albion (Norfolk) Limited.
