Wembley's
History
Established by Zackery Norris in 1848. Zachery Norris worked for several years as the chief auctioneer of the House of Phillips, but struck out on his own in the late 1840s, but did not attain prominence until he partnered with his cousin Prosper Lowry in 1848 as they competed against Sotherby's for the sale of the contents of Stowe House after the bankruptcy of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. Originally the auction house was called Norris & Lowry and was located in the Town of Wembly Green to avoid certain laws and taxes laid down upon London businesses, but Wembly locals simply called it the Auction House and over time it became known as Wembley's Auction House and then more simple still, Wembley's.
