Arthur Brooke was the founder of The Brooke Bond Tea Company. Brooke was born in Lancashire (now Ashton under Lyne) and opened his first tea shop at 29 Market Street, Manchester in 1869. By the age of 30 he was making over £5000 per year, with shops in the large cities and a wharehouse in London from where he supplied other tea dealers. The business grew and in 1892 it became a limited company. Wikipedia
