Railway Passengers Assurance Co

The company was established in 1849, in offices at 3 Old Broad Street, for the insurance of railway passengers. It expanded this business after 1856 to include general accident insurance in the United Kingdom and South Africa. In 1910, at which date its address was 64 Cornhill, it became a subsidiary of the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company which in turn became a subsidiary of Commercial Union Assurance in 1959.
