EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Joseph Lyons (1847-1917), a distinguished figure in the history of British catering, is depicted in this photograph as the Chairman of J Lyons & Co, a position he held from 1887 until his passing in 1917. Sir Joseph's knighthood was bestowed upon him in 1911, an acknowledgement of his significant contributions to the industry. The image captures Sir Joseph in a formal setting, seated at a table with an armrest, dressed in a suit and wearing a bowler hat. A crisp, white tablecloth adorns the table, and a waiter stands nearby, holding a tray with a teapot and cups. This scene suggests a meeting or perhaps a business luncheon, reflecting the professional nature of Sir Joseph's role as the head of a prominent catering company. J Lyons & Co was renowned for its Joe Lyons Corner Houses, which were popular cafes and tea shops that dotted the streets of London and other major cities. These establishments offered affordable meals and refreshments to the working class, making a significant impact on the social fabric of the time. The company's success can be traced back to 1887, when Sir Joseph assumed the role of Chairman, and continued until his death in 1917. This photograph, taken in 1913, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the British catering industry. Sir Joseph Lyons' legacy lives on, as his company's influence can still be felt in the numerous cafes, tea shops, and corner houses that continue to serve customers across the United Kingdom and beyond.
