W Thompson, cabinet makers and undertakers
Thompson’s started as a cabinet makers in Willow Place in 1832 and became a furniture makers and sellers by 1881. They had an undertakers business as well as selling china wholesale. In 1982, after 150 years of trading in Cambridge, they closed down. Peter Thompson said their style of business was becoming outdated: customers were now more conscious of price than quality with big warehouses changing the way furniture is sold.
