Two guys walk into a bar, and the bartender says, “Next door is the future of Amersham.”
Sometimes, the best beginnings start at a local bar – or in this case, a British pub. In 1940, Dr. Patrick Grove and his manager at Thorium came to White Lion Road, Amersham (that’s a city near London) looking for a residence that had been recommended as a suitable location to refine radium. Unable to find the location, they decided to grab a sandwich and some beer at the local White Lion public house. Long story short, they were right next door and within months, the house they almost never found became vacant – which they purchased for £ 2 000 –ultimately becoming the birthplace of Amersham™ brand and products.
