History
Harrisons and Crosfield opened an office in Calcutta in 1900 under the style Lampard, Clark and Company (CLC/B/112-099, Mss 37914-25). From 1908 the office was treated as a branch office of Harrisons and Crosfield Limited. An office was opened in Quilon (1911), and also in Calicut (circa 1912) and Cochin (circa 1919). In 1968 the Quilon branch moved to Cochin. See also the records of Davenport and Co, acquired in 1930, which acted as managing agents of a number of Indian tea companies (CLC/B/112-041; Mss 37462-8).
