Cakebread & Robey of Wood Green (and The Salisbury!)
Posted by Hugh on May 4, 2019 at 20:18 in History of Harringay
Cakebread & Robey was a noted supplier of satined glass and other goods with its headquarters in Wood Green from around 1914 until the late 1960s.
The company was founded in 1882 by George H. Cakebread and Arthur E. Robey as Cakebread Robey & Company, It became a private company in 1917 and a public one in 1928. The company was a significant exporter of its products chiefly to India and other British colonies.
Often decsribing itself as a Builders Merchant , its origins and speclialsim were as a supplier of engraved and stained glass to public houses and hotels. John C Hill was a customer. So locally, Cakebread and Robey glass was used for The Salisbury in Harringay and The Queen s in Crouch End. Below is a snap I took with my phone many years back of the ceiling panel in the back room of the Salisbury.
