Our History - The Herbert Group

The Herbert Group celebrated our 250th anniversary in 2010, John Wood having started trading 'at ye Angel & Scales ye corner of Queen Street in Watling Street, London' in 1760.

Thanks to a grant from the Young Roots programme of the Heritage Lottery Fund, a project was initiated to make the Herbert Group collection of products and documents, together with memories of its staff through the ages, available to a much wider audience through the creation of a Herbert History website www.herberthistory.co.uk

Mike Levy of Keystage Company in Cambridge was the project leader, and through working with pupils from the Samuel Ward Arts and Technology College in Haverhill , together with Jason Fitzpatrick of Pure Energy Multimedia Ltd, Haverhill and District Local History Society and ourselves, the Herbert History website was created.
