This company was established in 1824 as Manchester Fire and Life Assurance Company. It was renamed Manchester Assurance Company in 1846 when it transferred its life business to Pelican Life Insurance Company. At this date its offices were at 6 Lawrence Lane, Cheapside. Manchester Assurance was acquired by Atlas Assurance Company (CLC/B/107-04) in 1904; by this time its address was 110 Cannon Street.

Atlas Assurance became a subsidiary of Royal Exchange Assurance in 1959 and this company merged in turn with Guardian Assurance in 1968 to form Guardian Royal Exchange.

Guardian Royal Exchange deposited the records of Manchester Assurance Company in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library in February 1975. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
