Harrods was founded by Henry Charles Harrod, a tea merchant of Eastcheap, who opened a small grocers in the village of Knightsbridge in 1849. His son bought and expanded the business. The building was destroyed by fire in December 1883 but still managed to fulfill its Christmas orders. In 1889 it became a limited company and the premises were re-built and extended in 1902-11.
