The house of Harrison; being an account of the family and firm of Harrison and sons, printers to the King . rted from theline of the older street and every house that stood in the early sixties hasbeen pulled down. In about 1840 T. R. Harrison joined in partnership with Mr. J. , who had a printing office at No. 45, St. Martins Lane, and afew years later Parker retired. The lease of the house, with its yardand workshops behind, was transferred to T. R. Harrison and his twosons.
