Bishop's Move

Bishop & Sons’ Depositories was established in 1854 by Joseph James Bishop, who was a labourer from Norfolk and who came to London to join Robert Peel’s newly established police force. J.J. as he was known, left the police force after a short time and opened a green grocers in Elizabeth Street, London SW1 from where he developed the business to include moving household furniture and effects. This soon evolved to become a general cartage and removals business, with a small yard in what was then the village of Pimlico, SW1.
