Anti Dry-Rot Company
Formed in 1836. Purchased the John Howard Kyan patents for preserving wood in 1836 and the process was widely used on important buildings including buildings in Regent’s Park and the British Museum. Although the process was used for wooden sleepers on the railways the iron fastenings corroded more quickly and better chemical processes soon evolved to tackle the problem. The company went out of business in the mid 1850’s. Offices in London.
