Fowler Ltd. or Fowler Limited was a sugar refining company headquarted in Blackwall, London, England.
Fowler Bros & Co. was founded by Alexander and James Fowler of Port Glasgow, Scotland in 1871. [1] The merchants turned up in Hornsey in the early 1880s. [2] They started out making liquid invert sugars for breweries in London. [3]
In 1881, the Fowler's established a small cane-sugar refinery based at Bow Creek on the banks of the River Lea in Blackwall. [4] The treacle and syrup refiners Fowler Bros. & Ogilvie were listed in a trade journal as of 1883 as being at Orchard Place, Blackwall, 24 Mark Lane. [5]
In 1902, Alexander Fowler formed Fowler Ltd. Around this time, a second refinery was built at No. 31 Orchard Place, a newly acquired, larger dock on the other side of the street, quickly replacing the earlier facility. [6] Fowlers remained at the location until the 1970s.
In the 1950s, the company published recipe booklets with advice on the best uses for their products. [7]
In 1976, Fowler Ltd. was bought out by Manbré and Garton, another sugar refining business. Tate & Lyle took over production of both Fowlers and Mabré and Garton in 1977. [8]
