The Dunhill retail history dates to early 19th century London where Alfred’s great grandfather was a cloth and dry goods dealer, the family living above the shop. The next generation saw Alfred’s grandfather make his mark as a coal merchant and sack maker, his family still living above the shop. But during the second half of the 19th century Henry, Alfred’s father, was able to move his family into a free standing house and by 1885 had expanded the sack making business to canvas, tarpaulin, spring shop blinds, ropes, mats, harness and horse clothing of every description at 125-127 Euston Road. Fifteen year old Alfred joined his father there as an apprentice in 1887. Comparing son to father, clearly Alfred shared Henry’s drive to expand the family business, but it was Alfred who sought to serve the upper rather then the working classes, opening up DUNHILL MOTORITIES to cater to wealthy automotive enthusiasts in 1893. | The Dunhill retail history dates to early 19th century London where Alfred’s great grandfather was a cloth and dry goods dealer, the family living above the shop.
