Description: | Howards manufactured pharmaceuticals and chemicals for a vast
range of products. It was founded in 1797 by Luke Howard, a
Fellow of the Royal Society, who was responsible for classifying
the various cloud formations. The company moved from Stratford
to a brand new factory at Ilford in 1897.
In Ilford, the
company manufactured two types of products - medicinal chemicals
such as Quinine (used to treat Malaria), Aspirin and Epsom Salt,
and commercial chemicals for industries such as textiles, paint,
varnish, leather, dye, ink, rubber and soap trades.
