History
Skilbeck Brothers Limited were drysalters, of 205 Upper Thames Street. Lemuel Leppington (1652-1715, Citizen and Salter), had premises in Bread Street. His sons, Allen and John, succeeded to the business. William Gouthit (1745-1808, Citizen and Musician) succeeded, together with his brother George, to the Leppingtons' business, with premises successively at 9 Old Fish Street and 21 Great Distaff Lane. The business was continued, after William Gouthit's death in 1808, by John Joseph Skilbeck (1773-1863, Citizen and Musician), a former business associate of Gouthit's, in premises at 23 Bread Street Hill. From about 1831 the business was continued by Joseph Skilbeck (1799-1860) and John Skilbeck (1808-1899).
