Biographical history
British Vinegars Limited (BVL) was formed in 1932 from various British vinegar producing companies. For dates of amalgamation, see development chart in the collection. Beaufoy and Company was established by Mark Beaufoy as a manufactory of vinegar and 'mimicked wines' in the early 1740s at Cuper's Garden, south of the river Thames. In 1810 the company moved to South Lambeth, between Vauxhall and Stockwell, on part of Noel Caron's estate. The Beaufoy family's connection with vinegar production ended in 1941 when George Maurice Beaufoy (1893-1941) was killed by enemy action in the yard.
