Discover the rich history of Wellcome, a name synonymous with innovation and progress. Originating in Dartford, Kent, England, Messrs. Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. Established their factory near the Phoenix Paper Mills and Pond, where the large mill pond once powered their operations. Their success extended beyond Dartford, as they showcased their wares at the Paris Exhibition of 1889, where Burroughs, Wellcome & Co., Burroughs, Wellcome, and Messrs. Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. All represented their chemist business. The iconic Burroughs Wellcome Building in London stands as a testament to their legacy. A window in this building depicts a poignant scene of a leper woman praying at the shrine of St. Roch, reflecting the company's commitment to health and healing. Meanwhile, the Daren Bread Mill, a separate entity, continues to operate nearby, adding to the unique tapestry of Dartford's industrial past.
