Biographical history

The Institution was established in 1844 for the relief of 'distressed and decayed licensed Drovers'. In 1904 the Institution was amalgamated with the London Meat Traders' Association to form the London Meat Traders' and Drovers' Benevolent Association, but the Institution 'kept in being' during the period of the lease of Drovers' Hall and of Almshouses in Islington. The lease expired in 1953 when the Institution ceased to exist separately.
