History
Richard and George Attenborough established themselves as pawnbrokers and jewellers at 204 Fleet Street in 1844. By 1847, George Attenborough (1821-94) was trading alone, though he was subsequently joined by his sons, Arthur Henry Attenborough and George Attenborough. They traded from a number of addresses, before settling at 193 Fleet Street from 1873, where the firm was based until 1987. They are also described in London directories as silversmiths, watchmakers, appraisers, diamond and pearl merchants, and bullion dealers.
