With the establishment of the first Savory & Moore pharmacy in 1849, a network of pharmacies established in the United Kingdom which became the official suppliers of the War Office and Royal Family until 20th century.[4][5][6]

The shop was closed in 1968 and the fittings and contents were presented to the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine.[7] In 1992 Savory & Moore was taken over by Lloyds Pharmacy who now owns all trademarks for the company.[8][9]
